“The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“Pride is an established conviction of one's own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“Art never expresses anything but itself.”
The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde“ "He who will not economize will have to agonize."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“What we experience in dreams -- assuming that we experience it often -- belongs in the end just as much to the over-all economy of our soul as anything experienced "actually": we are richer or poorer on account of it.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
