More quotes by Oscar Wilde

"Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination."
"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."
"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."
"I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!"
"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."
