Some Words from Wilde

A few Oscar Wilde quotes to ponder on a lazy Sunday:

"The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure." (from Mr. Pater's Last Volume)

"It is absurd to divide people into good or bad. People are either charming or tedious."

"I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again."

"Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative."

An afternoon snack

If you've never read Oscar Wilde's fairy tales, you're in for a real treat. If you have read them, well, now you have a way to read them anywhere the internet exists. Be sure to read "The Happy Prince," and make sure you have some tissues nearby, it's a heartbreaker.
