This was attributed to Oscar Wilde, but it may indeed be apocryphal:
"Her Highness is like a stream of bat's piss. - She shines like a beam of gold when all around is dark."

He is quite a clever man... (sort of a sexist though)
"I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.”
"I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself."
“I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.”
Couldn't pick one.

I always liked from The Importance of Being Earnest:
"I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy."

I would have to narrow it down to three.
"Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about."
"To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable."
"Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace."
Next question.

I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability.
