Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid. – Oscar Wilde
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train. – Oscar Wilde
