  I love the story of Dorian Gray. A classic that every student should be required to read.

  The key word to Wild's philosophy is "paradox"

  Wilde said, "Basil Halworth is what I think I am, Lord Henry what the world thinks me, Dorian what I would like to be -- in other ages, perhaps."

  What is a cynic? A cynic is someone that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing!<br>O. Wilde<br>Thank God i read this quote very early in my youth and my life is good!

  &quot;the book contains much of me in it — Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry, what the world thinks me; Dorian is what I would like to be — in other ages, perhaps&quot; Oscar Widle in a letter from 1894<br>Make of that as you will.

  This is one of my favorite books of all time. &nbsp;I have read it several times. &nbsp; I am always amazed at how many people have never read this. &nbsp;There are so many good conversations to be had in today&apos;s world from this book. &nbsp;I homeschool my teenage grandson. &nbsp;He is a deep thinker and an advanced reader. &nbsp;We read this together and discuss not only the literature of the time and vocabulary but we look at it through today&apos;s lens as compared to the time of Oscar Wilde. &nbsp; The messages feel just as relevant today as it was when written. &nbsp; &nbsp;It is not for every young person but I feel that when you read the book with them and have discussions, it has true value for a young person as they analyze world views.

  I&apos;ve been wondering what happened to Will Witt. &nbsp;The Florida Standard disappeared without notice, just when it was gaining some real traction. &nbsp;I know Mr. Witt has a lot of opportunities in his career, but I&apos;ll tell you what...... I was floored when &quot;Will &amp; Amala Live&quot; ended. &nbsp;He made that show, and it was one of the few shows I looked forward to every day. &nbsp;I hope he doesn&apos;t decide to become a politician. &nbsp;The radical left would probably try to do to him what they&apos;ve done to so many others..... especially in Pennsylvania.
