Genius lasts longer than beauty

Oscar Wilde

Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.

Oscar Wilde

You know what lasts longer than beauty? Being smart.

Gabrielle Union

It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man--that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value.

Oscar Wilde

Ugliness is better than beauty. It lasts longer and in the end, gravity will get us all.
