Oscar Wilde
  • No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

  • A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

  • The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.

  • Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.

  • The salesman knows nothing of what he is selling save that he is charging a great deal too much for it.
