<\/p>\n Life is best lived free from the obligation to be what the world thinks you should be.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve always admired poet and playwright Oscar Wilde. He writes with a confidence that\u2019s contagious. <\/span>His witty, irreverent style reminds me that life is best lived free from the obligation to be what the world thinks you should be.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you know that Wilde once served as the editor of a women\u2019s magazine? It was called<\/span> The Woman\u2019s World, <\/span><\/i>and Wilde significantly improved its success by implementing changes so that the publication would “deal not merely with what women wear, but with what they think and what they feel.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I think that <\/span>Bella Grace<\/span><\/i> readers, had we been around in 1886, would have appreciated that. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beneath Wilde\u2019s humor is a deep connection to both truth and beauty. Perhaps that\u2019s what bored Wilde about a magazine focused solely on<\/span> fashion. There\u2019s<\/span> so much truth and beauty to be found in the thoughts and feelings <\/span>beneath the clothes. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did we miss one of your favorite Oscar Wilde quotes?
