I WIN. TAKE THAT, @Lunar Latias.

I mean. Oscar Wilde is my favorite writer. He's so witty. I really laughed out loud reading The Importance of Being Earnest. And The Picture of Dorian Gray is probably my favorite of the classics, and it's mostly due to Wilde's writing. The way he writes is just so pretty.

Regarding the quote itself, I love it. And it's so true. Though I see it less as speaking to the selfishness of human desire and more as speaking to the sad impossibility of human satisfaction. There's a certain thrill or drive that comes with desiring and chasing something. But the moment you get it, the feeling's gone.

There's also a very similar quote accredited to George Bernard Shaw. Never know who said it first, but I prefer Wilde, so...
