You should never try to understand them(women). Women are pictures. Men are problems. If you want to know what a woman really means - which, by the way, is always a dangerous thing to do - look at her, don't listen to her.

奧斯卡·王爾德(Oscar Wilde,1854~1900),19世紀愛爾蘭(當時由英國統治)最偉大的作家與藝術家之一,以其劇作、詩歌、童話和小說聞名。唯美主義代表人物,19世紀80年代美學運動的主力和90年代頹廢派運動的先驅。
生于都柏林醫生家庭。曾就讀于都柏林三一學院。1878年畢業于牛津大學莫德林學院。求學期間受英國作家羅斯金(John Ruskin)和佩特(Walter Horatio Pater)影響,建立起以享樂主義為基礎的唯美主義思想,並成為英國唯美主義的代表人物。1888年發表一組優美動人的童話《快樂王子故事集》(1888)。唯一的長篇小說《道林·格雷的畫像》(1890)曾被斥為”邪書“。他在《道林·格雷的畫像》的序言和論文集《意圖》中系統闡述”為藝術而藝術“的美學觀點,認為作品的價值在于藝術形式的完美,而與社會倫理道德無關。後接連發表風俗喜劇《理想的丈夫》(1898)等,演出後頗受歡迎。1895年《認真的重要》被認為是他的代表劇作。
1885年因被他人告發私生活不檢點判服苦役兩年。後寫長詩《雷丁監獄之歌》(1898)描述自己的心情。出獄後移居巴黎,三年後客死他鄉。作品還有獨幕劇《莎樂美》(1895)、散文《謊言的衰朽》(1889)等。
