Jemanden zu beeinflussen bedeutet, ihm eine fremde Seele zu... - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

"The only horrible thing in the world is ennui."

"You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know."

"Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."

"Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes."

"Even things that are true can be proved."
