Oscar Wilde Said

Big Frank thinks today that these Oscar Wilde quotations can be strung together and turned into a Oscar Wilde poem the title of which is:

Oscar Wilde Said
by Oscar Wilde via Big Frank

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Only the shallow know themselves.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
The world is a stage but the play is badly cast.
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

If you are not too long I will wait here for you all of my life.

I love your idea about how we have no original ideas... it's something I've struggled with grasping with the various art forms I've pursued.
But that's the beauty in it- even if it is not classified as a form of 'collaborative art' it may still be that... sort've like collective consciousness.
i like to think that globalization will allow for the speedy delivery of not only goods and services, but also IDEAS, so maybe we will have another age of enlightenment soon....
well a girl can be a dreamer atleast....
