"Irony is wasted on the stupid..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I am quite incapable of understanding how any work of art can be criticized from a moral standpoint. The sphere of art and the sphere of ethics are absolutely distinct and separate.”

“A man's life is of more value than a woman's. It has larger issues, wider scope, greater ambitions. Our lives revolve in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses. I have just learnt this, and much else with it, from Lord Goring. And I will not spoil your life for you, nor see you spoil it as a sacrifice to me, a useless sacrifice.”

“A grand passion is the privelege of people who have nothing to do.”

“I don't know anything about this man. Anyhow, I only know two things about him. One is, he has never been in jail, and the other is, I don't know why.”

“Thyself shall see the act; For, as thou urgest justice, be assured Thou shalt have justice, more than thou desir'st.”

“Hard work is amply the refuge of those who have nothing to do.”

“Why look for conspiracy when stupidity can explain so much”

“I am so stupid that I cannot understand philosophy; the antithesis of this is that philosophy is so clever that it cannot comprehend my stupidity. These antitheses are mediated in a higher unity; in our common stupidity.”

“The stupid are invincible.”
