Oh dear old Oscar"Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people
don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk."

The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet is the most unpoetical of all creatures.OW

"His detractors . . . an imperfectly warm-blooded race, apparently conceive him as a great white caterpiller" - Joyce on Wilde's detractors

I am not sure if I am reading into your posts but I am feeling a little offended by you Well Read and you too Jules. I thought being able to share with others your favorite Oscar quote is quite appropriate on the Oscar Wilde page. If you too feel like you should only see these quotes by picking up the reading and reading it yourself - then why don't you A) post something relevant to this site instead of picking on someone else's post or B) Hop over to the robbie williams' topic and talk about your idol George Michael.
Jules why don't you and Toto go back to Kansas.

Long live Oscar Wilde and all of us that are dedicated to his cause! Words are a form of action, capable of influencing change. Their articulation represents a complete, lived experience therefor I will pass them on, regardless of those not worthy to appreciate them - a quote, a poem, a short story or a book they are ours to share.

Please no more enlightening quotes!!! I can pick up a book if I need to read anymore thank you. What are you clowns in a book club or something or did you spend all you parents hard earned money majoring in English?

Well, well, Well-Read, I think I hear a poor undergraduate with some anxiety over major selection. Words of wisdom, choose any major of use and beware of the artsy advertising majors, it may be like a thorn in your side, ugh!!!

I don't know about you guys, I haven't read any of his stuff and I don't think I want to. He looks like a big gay guy in a fur coat? Why did Moz pick this nutjob as one of his hereos???

Tony - I think you are overestimating Warren if you think he will understand that quote - his intellect is a little lacking I am afraid - Well what can we all expect seeing as how he is in the 5th grade.
