"I played with an idea, and grew..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“It is a great mistake for men to give up paying compliments, for when they give up saying what is charming, they give up thinking what is charming.”

“It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.”

“People sometimes inquire what form of government is most suitable for an artist to live under. To this question there is only one answer. The form of government that is most suitable to the artist is no government at all.”

“A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.”

“I wake up with new dreams every day...more I can do to channel that into things that I love to create is healthier for me and probably for everybody around me.”

“Art is evidence of our most creative moment.”

“I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck.”

“I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism; I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.”

“If an idea isn't exciting, you shouldn't do it.”
