An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.

The world is made by the singer for the dreamer.

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.

Yes, very sensible... People die of common sense, Dorian, one lost moment at a time. Life is a moment. There is no hereafter. So make it burn always with the hardest flame.

Nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.

I may have said the same thing before... but my explanation, I am sure, will always be different.
