It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. - Oscar Wilde

"We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities."

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

"Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship."

"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance."

"Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, and conversation must have a common basis, and between two people of widely different culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level."
