There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked... - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
"You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know."
"You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid"
"The only horrible thing in the world is ennui."
"I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them."
"Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different."
