Oscar Wilde
Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, how I vainly wished to the bearded man in the sky that I was Neapolitan. Why? So I could bring in a fine Neapolitan pest control to help with Queensberry's problem before it gets out of hand.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
