"Oh, I love London Society! It is..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.”

“To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.”

“Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualification.”

“Art is rarely intelligible to the criminal classes.”

“Most of the significant contributions that have been made to society have been made by people who were tired.”

“We fill the hands and nurseries of our children with all manner of dolls, drums and horses, withdrawing their eyes from the plain face and... Nature, the sun and moon, the animals, the water and stones, which should be their toys.”

“An American in London...cannot but be impressed and charmed by the city. The momumentality of Washington, the thriving business of New York, the antique intimacy of Boston, plus a certain spacious and open feeling reminiscent of Denver and San Francisco-all these he finds combined for his pleasure.”

“The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.”

“The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ”
