My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or... - 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."

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

"If a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame."

"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."

"We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell."
