"Most people live for love and admiration...." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question - simple curiosity.”

“Artists reproduce themselves or each other, with wearisome iteration. But criticism is always moving on, and the critic is always developing.”

“One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.”

“But strictly held by none, is loosely bound By countless silken ties of love and thought To everything on earth the compass round, And only by one's going slightly taut In the capriciousness of summer air Is of the slightest bondage made aware.”

“Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.”

“What is hell?...The suffering that comes from the consciousness that one is no longer able to love.”

“The Sun never shined on a cause of greater worth.”

“When I was a kid, a book I read advised young artist to be themselves. That decided it for me. I was a corny kind of guy, so I went in for corn.”

“Why writers write I do not know. As well ask why a hen lays an egg or why a cow stands patiently while an underprivileged farmer burglarizes her.”
