Quotes and Context

I found this quote Oscar Wilde quote on a sheitel site: "It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearance. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." The source is given by author and the title of the work, The Picture of Dorian Grey. Anyone who is familiar with Wilde as a writer would know that his sayings are not meant to be profound statements but witty twists on conventional wisdom, hence the alliance of shallow with those who seek something beyond appearance. And if you have actually read The Picture of Dorian Grey, then you know that the beauty seen on a person in it does not reflect his character and actions. But I won't give away the novel for those who have not read it. In any case, it is laughable to take a quote from such a work to promote sheitels.
