"With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age..." - 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.”

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.”

“Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.”

“Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.”

“The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.”

“When the age is in, the wit is out”

“For surely to be wise is the most desirable thing in all the world.”

“Even as wisdom often comes from the mouths of babes, so does it often come from the mouths of old people. The golden rule is to test everything in the light of reason and experience, no matter from where it comes.”

“A youth is to be regarded with respect. How do we know that his future will not be equal to our present?”
