Оскар Уайлд
Все более актуальной становится фраза "Я слышал о вас столько худого, что не сомневаюсь, вы - хороший человек". Везде приписывают ее Оскару Уайлду, но при всей мощи интернет-поисковых ресурсов оригинальную цитату я так и не нашел.
Зато нашел немало других злободневных цитат из Уайлда.
Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
***
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
***
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.
***
There is no sin except stupidity.
***
I am not young enough to know everything.
***
I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
***
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
***
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
