Happy Birthday, Oscar Wilde Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion. From The Soul of Man Under Socialism (1891) On display at Dog-Eared Books on Valencia St, SF. #OscarWildeQuotes #CivilDisobedience #TheSoulofManUnderSocialism #LGBTauthors #LGBTquotes #blacklettercalligraphy #calligraphiegothique #cansonmiteintespastelpaper #AcrylaGouache #frakturcalligraphy #dogearedbookssf

Be Yourself. Everyone Else is Already Taken This quote has often been attributed to Thomas Merton. However, there is a lot of evidence that it could have been Oscar Wilde. In several of his works, he stressed the importance of being true to oneself. In De Profundis (1905), he wrote “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”. And let’s not forgot The Importance of Being Ernest. #OscarWildeQuotes #BeingYourself #WinsorNewtonWatercolor #WinsorVioletWatercolor #CansonMiTeintesPaper #Individuality #honesty #copperplatecalligraphy #calligraphieanglaise #pointedpencalligraphy #happybirthdayoscarwilde #lgbtauthors #lgbtquotes #lgbtplaywrights From: Raoul Martinez <raoulpat@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2018 10:12 AM To: 'Raoul Martinez' <raoulpat@gmail.com> Subject: Oscar Wilde Post Be Yourself.
