Be always searching for new sensations
and in the Wilde words of Oscar the Great:
Beauty is a form of Genius - is higher, indeed than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned... But what the gods give they quickly take away. You have only a few years in which to live really, perfectly and fully. When your youth goes your beauty goes with it..time is jealous of you, and wars against your lillies and your roses... D'ont squander the gold of your days listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving your life away to the ignorant, the common and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideas of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothin. The world belongs to you for a season.....
oh oscar just knows how to put it so eloquently doesnt he
