"I often take exercise. Why only yesterday..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“With subtle and finely-wrought temperaments it is always so. Their strong passions must either bruise or bend. They either slay the man, or themselves die. Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and the sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude.”

“What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”

“Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?”

“Long distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.”

“Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being.”

“You know you've got to exercise your brain just like your muscles.”

“Every picture of you is when you were younger.”

“I went to George Washington High School for six months before my 16th birthday, when I could legally quit. That was an even worse experience than the Catholic schools. I mean, they were still teaching fractions. But mostly, I played hooky.”

“The main problem with writing in verse is, if your fourth line doesn't come out right, you've got to throw four lines away and figure out a whole new way to attack the problem. So the mortality rate is terrific.”
