Quotes: The Picture of Dorian Gray:
"I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself."
"He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize."
"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written."
"I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful...If it was only the other way!.."
Quotes: The Critic as Artist:#p#分页标题#e#
"The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius."
"But what is the difference between literature and journalism? ... Journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. That is all."
"Every great man nowadays has his disciples and it is always Judas who writes the biography."
"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."
"There is no sin except stupidity."
"...nothing worth knowing can be taught."
Quotes: The Importance of Being Earnest:
"The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means."
"To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
"London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years."
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!"
