"A great poet, a really great poet,..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.”

“If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.”

“And let me touch those curving claws of yellow ivory; and grasp the tail that like a monstrous asp coils round your heavy velvet paws.”

“I was an only child. I needed an alternative to family life - to real life, you could almost say - and cartoons, pictures in a book, the animated movies, seemed to provide it.”

“Art is how a culture records its life, how it poses questions for the next generation and how it will be remembered.”

“If we're all saying that rap is an art form then we gotta be more responsible for our lyrics. If you see everybody dying because of what you're saying, it don't matter that you didn't make them die, it just matters that you didn't save them.”

“Now, isn't imagination a precious thing? It peoples the earth with all manner of wonders.”

“There is always room and occasion enough for a true book on any subject; as there is room for more light the brightest day and more rays will not interfere with the first.”

“Life too near paralyses art.”
