Oscar Wilde
“It's the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.”
Oscar Wilde, Miscellaneous Aphorisms; The Soul of Man

Oscar Wilde
“There were opium-dens, where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

George Orwell
“The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.”
George Orwell

George Orwell
“All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes. ”
George Orwell

Sylvia Plath
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
