Quotations for picturesque

Women have always been picturesque protests against the mere existence of common sense. [ Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance ]

Even business should have a picturesque background. With a proper back-ground a woman can do anything. [ Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere's Fan ]

Nature eschews regular lines; she does not shape her lines by a common model. Not one of Eve's numerous progeny in all respects resembles her who first culled the flowers of Eden. To the infinite variety and picturesque inequality of nature we owe the great charm of her uncloying beauty. [ Whittier ]
