By Oscar Wilde

*To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. 
*So that man thought that the important thing was to have, and did not know that the important thing is to be. The true perfection of man lies, not in what man has, but in what man is.
*Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
*There are three kinds of despots. There is the despot who tyrannises over the body. There is the despot who tyrannises over the soul. There is the despot who tyrannises over the soul and body alike. The first is called the Prince. The second is called the Pope. The third is called the People.
*A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
*I have nothing to declare except my genius.
*The only possible society is oneself.
*To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
*However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive.
*Now don't stir. I'll be back in five minutes. And don't fall into any temptations while I am away.
*I can resist everything except temptation.
*There is no sin except stupidity.
