Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
Oscar Wilde
Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.
Oscar Wilde
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .
Oscar Wilde
Life is too short to learn German
Oscar Wilde
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.
Oscar Wilde
