4. Personality He was an aesthete and Dandy
“A Dandy is a Man whose trade, office and existence consists in the wearing of Clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, purse, and person is heroically consecrated to this one object, the wearing of Clothes wisely and well: so that the others dress to live, he lives to dress.”
Thomas Carlyle

5. In public he pretended
„... my plays are not good, I know, and I don´t trouble about that... They are nearly all the result of a bet. So was Dorian Gray – I wrote that in few days because a friend of mine declared that I could not write a novel. Writing bores me so.“

6. The man with mask
„To the world I seem, by intention on my part, a dilettante and dandy merely – it is not wise to show one's heart to the world – and as seriousness of manner is the disguise of the fool, folly in its exquisite modes of triviality and indifference and lack of care is the robe of the wise man. In so vulgar an age as this we all need masks.“
