Life Lessons from Orwell - If You Are on a Sinking Ship, You Think of Sinking Ships Book Description: In the pages of this book, Art is for art's sake. You will find the extraordinary life story and the most striking sections in the works of the Irish fiction master Oscar Wilde, who left a deep mark in the world of literature with the novels, stories, poems and plays he wrote in his bright and colorful style. Someone who lacks imagination enough to provide evidence to support his lie would be better off telling the truth without further ado. You will never be just until you consider what is a shame for a woman to be a disgrace for a man. There are many disasters that, even if they seem so at first, are God's secret blessings to us. Living is the rarest thing in the world. Most people are, that's it. Anyone can feel sorry for a friend's suffering, but it takes a very noble personality to be happy for a friend's success. Middle-aged people are mortgaged to life. Old people are in the attic of life. But young people are the masters of life. There is a kingdom waiting for the youth. If art did not purify life for us and give it instant perfection, with its fine selective spirit and the elegant intuition it uses in its choices, we would all be bored with this world.
