Oscar Wilde is always a source of fun. That particular quote is plucked from The Critic as Artist: with Some Remarks upon the Importance of Doing Nothing.
ReplyDeleteFrom earlier in the same piece of dialog, "I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood."

Education is what is left after you've forgotten everything you've learned.
