The only horrible thing in the world is ennui. - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
"The only horrible thing in the world is ennui."
"The only horrible thing in the world is ennui."
"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all."
"You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know."
"I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life."
"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all."
"I am too fond of reading books to care to write them."
