Oscar Wilde ()

A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
(ex: 7843, Webster´s Pocket Quotation Dictionary, Trident Press Int. 1997, p. 106.)

Marcel Schwob (1894)

Ejhle slovo: Nič, nič, nič. Nič v sobě samém, nič kolem sebe. Zjednej místo pro duši svou a pro ostatní duše. Znič vše dobro a vše zlo. Ssutiny jsou si podobny. Znič staré příbytky lidí a staré příbytky duší; mrtvé věci jsou zrcadla, jež znetvořují. Nič, neboť vše stvoření pochodí z ničení. A pro vyšší dobrotu nutno vyhubiti nižší dobrotu. A tak nové dobro jest jakoby nasyceno zlem. Abychom pojali nové umění, třeba rozbíti staré umění. A tak nové umění se podobá jaksi obrazoborectví. Neboť všecka stavba je sdělána z trosek, a nic není nového na tomto světě, pouze tvary. Ale nutno zničiti tvary.

Oscar Wilde ()

Actors are fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different. Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualifications. Our Guildensterns ülay Hamlet for us, and our Hamlets have to jest like Prince Hal. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
(Lord Arthur Savile´s Crime, in: Complete Works of O.W., Collins, London/Glasgow 1985, p. 174 – <2>.)Oscar Wilde World

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
Ordinery rimes can be stolen; real rimes cannot. In your soul are infintely precious things that cannot be taken from you.
By giving us the opinions od the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance od the community.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Everything popular is wrong.
True progres sis to know more, and be more, and to do more.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
All art is quite useless.
Why was I born with such comtemporaries?
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeedes like excess.
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
