Oscar Wilde
A grand passion is the privelege of people who have nothing to do.
Oscar Wilde
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.

There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.

I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde
We have been able to have fine poetry in England because the public do not read it, and consequently do not influence it. The public like to insult poets because they are individual, but once they have insulted them, they leave them alone.
Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self denial.
Oscar Wilde
Its a beautiful woman's fate to be the subject of conversation where ever she goes
Oscar Wilde
Books are never finished, They are merely abandoned.
Oscar Wilde
Believe me, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is.
Oscar Wilde
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Oscar Wilde
