"Nothing worth knowing can be taught...." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.”

“If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.”

“Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.”

“Don't be misled by History, or any other unreliable source.”

“Those who do not read have no advantage over those who cannot read.”

“Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.”

“The truth remains that, after adolescence has begun, "words, words, words," must constitute a large part, and an always larger part as life advances, of what the human being has to learn.”

“Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.”

“I love to learn but I do not want to be taught”
