More Quotes from Oscar Wilde:
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.Oscar Wilde
To influence a person is to give him ones own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of some one elses music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
