王尔德经典语录——被宠爱是魅力来源的秘密

作者：Kylie 来源：诺思留学整理 2015-04-13

 在距今约一个半世纪以前，爱尔兰都柏林的奥斯卡•王尔德就道出了很多在今天看来仍然非常时髦的话语。如果他活在今天，就算他没有写过那些才华横溢的童话、小说和剧本，光靠每天发发微博，也一定能成为千万粉丝的大V。就像在1881年，王尔德坐船横跨大洋来到美利坚，进关的时候傲然地对海关官员翻了个白眼说：“我没有什么可以申报的，除了我的才华。” (I have nothing to declare except my genius.)当然这只是一段野史，王尔德到底是不是说过这句话如今已很难考证。但即便是伪造，这句话也完全符合王尔德的身份、性格和气质，因为王尔德就是这么一个恃才傲物又舌灿如莲花的毒舌天才。有人说毒舌分两种，有些人毒舌是因为自己不爽，还有些人毒舌是为了让自己爽。张爱玲是第一种人，而王尔德就是第二种人。
