He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends. - Oscar Wilde

"I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!"

"nothing that is worth knowing can be taught"

"Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force."

"What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise"

"Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future."
