An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends... - Oscar Wilde

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."

"A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it."

"All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic."

"There are two ways to dislike poetry: One is to dislike it; the other is to read Pope."

"A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author."
