I hope you have not been leading a double life,
pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time.
That would be hypocrisy.

That would be hypocrisy.
There is no sin except stupidity.
My own business bores me to death.
I prefer other people's.

Education is an admirable thing,
but it is as well to remember that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

I suppose society is wonderfully delightful.
To be in it is merely a bore.
But to be out of it simply a tragedy.
Bio
Oscar Wilde was born on 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. He showed promise and talent at a very young age and he wrote poems along with his schoolwork. He went to America and met many of the famous poets of the day. He wrote operas, poems, and many other books. He had many financial troubles as he flaunted his wealth and travelled around the world visiting places. One of the main traits he was known for was his homosexuality, which would later lead to him to jail. He had a wife but he also had a relationship with Lord Alfred Douglass. Marquess of Queensberry (the Lord's father) witnessed this relationship and Oscar and the Marquess got into a fight. This went to the court and Oscar was put in jail after much evidence. His wife and family fled and changed their names and Oscar was alone. He got out of jail and he changed his name to Sebastion Melmoth. He renewed his relationship with Alfred and he died in 1900 from syphilis.
