"The only way to atone for being..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Women's styles may change but their designs remain the same.”

“Tea is the only simple pleasure left to us.”

“A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.”

“The academic teaching on beauty is false. We have been misled, but so completely misled that we can no longer find so much as a shadow of a truth again. The beauties of the Parthenon, the Venuses, the Nymphs, the Narcisusses, are so may lies. Art is not the application of a canon of beauty, but what the instinct and the brain can conceive independently of that canon.”

“Education is very admirable but let us not forget that anything worth knowing cannot be taught.”

“I'm trying to teach people of all ages to, number one: how to criticize, how to offer creative analysis on top of that, how to try to build things in a new direction and how to compliment people when the thing gets done.”

“Had double chins all the way down to his stomach.”

“Moral severity in women is only a dress or paint which they use to set off their beauty.”

“A commission of haberdashers could alone have reported what the rest of her poor dress was made of, but it had a strong general resemblance to seaweed, with here and there a gigantic tea-leaf. Her shawl looked particularly like a tea-leaf after long infusion.”
