"The only excuse for making a useless..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“One is not always happy when one is good; but one is always good when one is happy.”

“Progress is the realization of utopia.”

“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”

“The grand style follows suit with all great passion. It disdains to please, it forgets to persuade. It commands. It wills.”

“Art to be art must soothe.”

“My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.”

“Such is the never-failing beauty and accuracy of language, the most perfect art in the world; the chisel of a thousand years retouches it.”

“To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same fields, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.”

“You're the beautiful one. It's society that's ugly.”
