Oscar Wilde
“There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Margaret Atwood
“War is what happens when language fails.”
Margaret Atwood

Oscar Wilde
“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Joseph Conrad
“Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.”
Joseph Conrad, Chance

Oscar Wilde
“All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
