Seeking quote from Wilde or perhaps Shaw

I think it is from Oscar Wilde, though I’m having a terrible time recalling or finding it.

IIRC, it says that the difference between a moral and immoral person is whether we like them, or share their vices, or something along those lines…I think.

Can anybody help?

That sounds a bit obvious to be from either Wilde or Shaw. The only thing at all similar I can think of is from Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra:

“You must forgive him, Caesar. He thinks the way of his tribe is the way of the World.”

A quick Google search turned up this:

But the one in my sig is much better. :slight_smile:

Is this it?

In his Preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde writes;

“There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

That’s it! Damn, I swear that I searched for quite a bit of time before asking. How embarassing.

Unfortunately, my memory of it was misleading. I wanted to forward it to a fellow who keeps talking about how we have to be “visionary” when his sole criterion for that status seems to be whether one agrees with him. I don’t think that is quite the flavor of the Wilde quote. C’est la guerre.

Thanks much!
