The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
from the book "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Anyone can be reasonable, but being mentally sane is rare.
Progress is owed to the strength of personality, not of principle.
Now art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.
It is only the modern that ever becomes old fashioned.
Only a very kind woman is capable of doing something very dumb.
Women defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrenders.
I never read a book I must review; it prejudices you so.
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
