Oscar Wilde

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
