“I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much.

You have that moment now. Choose!”
― Oscar Wilde

“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”
― George Bernard Shaw

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
