More quotes by Oscar Wilde

"There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better."
"Who, being loved, is poor?"
"Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live."
"An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him."
"There should be a law that no ordinary newspaper should be allowed to write about art. The harm they do by their foolish and random writing it would be impossible to overestimate - not to the artist, but to the public, blinding them to all but harming the artist not at all."
