"The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out"
- The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde.


" The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to. Youth! Youth! There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth! ... You said to me once that pathos left you unmoved, but that beauty, mere beauty, could fill your eyes with tears. ... We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.... Ugliness was the one reality."
- The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde


" LORD ILLINGWORTH. Don't be afraid, Gerald. Remember that you've got on your side the most wonderful thing in the world - youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile, like most kings. To win back my youth, Gerald, there is nothing I wouldn't do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community."
- A Woman of No Importance, by Oscar Wilde


"Cultivated idleness seems to me to be the proper occupation for man."
- To the Editor of the Scots Observer August 16 1890, by Oscar Wilde


"The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth."
- Phrases And Philosophies For The Use Of The Young, by Oscar Wilde
