More quotes by Oscar Wilde

"In old days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. Nowadays books are written by the public and read by nobody."
"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."
"No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist."
"If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward."
"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."
