Call of the Wilde
Here are some Oscar Wilde quotes:

From "Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young":

Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.

=========

The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.

=========

Only the shallow know themselves.

=========

The only way to atone for being occasionally a little overdressed is by being always absolutely over-educated.

=========

A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.

=========

The old believe everything: the middle-aged suspect everything: the young know everything.

=========
=========
=========

From An Ideal Husband:

Mrs Cheveley. Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are.

=========

Lord Goring. Everything is dangerous, my dear fellow. If it wasn't so, life wouldn't be worth living.
