Quotes

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
I can resist everything except temptation.

"I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works."
-- Oscar Wilde in conversation with André Gide
"It is silly of you, for there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
--from THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (1890)
HC：借問梁永安兄此名句貴譯
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."--from "De Profundis" (1897)
Liang：正如愛默森（Emerson）說過︰「在任何人，最罕見的莫過於不從眾的行為。」大部分人都是別人。他們的意見全是來自別人，他們的生活是一種模仿，他們的激情是一種拾人牙慧。

‘The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death’
