Books are never finished, They are merely abandoned.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Even now I cannot help feeling that it is a mistake to think that the passion one feels in creation is ever really shown in the work one creates.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Oscar Wilde
Image
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
Oscar Wilde
Image
I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Nobody ever does.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What is mind but motion in the intellectual sphere?
Oscar Wilde
Image
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
Image
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Oscar Wilde

I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much
