When I had to fill in the immigration papers, I gave my age as 19, and my profession as genious; I added that I had nothing to declare except my talent.

I CAN RESIST EVERYTHING EXCEPT TEMPTATION.

I have very simple tastes, I am always satisfied with the very best.

I like talking to a brick wall, I find it is the only thing in the world that never contradicts me.

Whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong.

Praise makes me humble, but when I am abused I know I have touched the stars.

To regain my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or become respectable.

(Oscar Wilde)
