Just as the philanthropist is...

Just as the philanthropist is the nuisance of the ethical sphere, so the nuisance of the intellectual sphere is the man who is so occupied in trying to educate others, that he has never had any time to educate himself.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The only artists I have ever ...

The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Life! Life! Don't let us go t...
