i showed dorian gray his portrait...soz

decided that i am going to do oscar wilde in my ipi exam, this still leaves me 7 more political thinkers to choose. Either way Oscar Wilde is a goddam legend, his writings and thoughts are like a mirror of my own inner thoughts...darkly satirical with major emphasises on sarcasm. here are some of his quotes

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative
