| “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” ―Oscar Wilde Source/Notes: De Profundis (1895) |
| “Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.” ―Oscar Wilde Source/Notes: The Soul of Man Under Socialism (1895) |
