Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Summary

This quote by Oscar Wilde suggests that relying on consistency as a way of thinking or behaving can be a sign of a lack of creativity or originality. It implies that those who strictly adhere to established patterns or refuse to deviate from traditional routines may be doing so out of an inability or unwillingness to think outside the box. Wilde implies that true innovation and imagination arise when we challenge the status quo and embrace flexibility rather than seeking comfort in unchanged and predictable paths.
