Last Modified on December 2, 2020Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age.
Lord Henry Wotton, in Chapter Two, The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
