Letter "O" » Oscar Wilde Quotes
«Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.»
«In England people actually try to be brilliant at breakfast. That is so dreadful of them! Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.»

«Only my own genius.»
«And the wild regrets and the bloody sweats None knew so well as I: That he who lives more lives than one, More deaths than one shall die.»
«Nothing is so aggravating as calmness.»
«Philanthropy is the refuge of rich people who wish to annoy their fellow creatures.»

«I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.»
«One can only give an unbiased opinion about things that do not interest one, which is no doubt the reason an unbiased opinion is always valueless. The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing.»
