"I am sick to death of cleverness...." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“The unread is always better than the unreadable.”

“Men as a rule love with their eyes, woman with their ears.”

“That very concentration of vision and intensity of purpose which is the characteristic of the artistic temperament is in itself a mode of limitation. To those who are preoccupied with the beauty of form nothing else seems of much importance.”

“The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.”

“Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out at the casement; shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole; stop that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.”

“Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.”

“How clever you are, my dear! You never mean a single word you say.”

“Twas a clever quibble. Here, a garment for it.”

“Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.”
