Oscar Wilde
“Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well informed man-that is the modern ideal”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde
“There is no such thing as a good influence, Mr. Gray. All influence is immoral — immoral from the scientific point of view.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 virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone elses music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self. Of course, they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked. Courage has gone out of our race. Perhaps we never really had it. The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion -these are the two things that govern us.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Isabel Wilkerson
“Africans are not black," she said. "They are Igbo and Yoruba, Ewe, Akan, Ndebele. They are not black. They are just themselves. They are humans on the land. . . They don't become black until they go to America or come to the U.K. . . It is then that they become black.”

Wendy Walker
“I think there are two types of people. Ones who have a scream inside them and ones who don’t. People who have a scream are too angry or too sad or laugh too hard, swear too much, use drugs or never sit still. Sometimes they sing at the top of their lungs with the windows rolled down. I don’t think people are born with it. I think other people put it inside you with the things they do to you, and say to you, or the things you see them say or do to other people. And I don’t think you can get rid of it. If you don’t have a scream, you can’t understand.”
Wendy Walker

Colleen Oakley
“He stilled midair, and then a slow grin spread across his lips. “Do you even know how to work that thing?” he said, his voice dripping with condescension. He said it in the way boys had been talking to her for her entire life, like she was an adorable baby panda. How cute that she thought she know how to play soccer or video games or knew a little about engines in cars, but they clearly knew more or played better.”
Colleen Oakley, The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise
