Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed and mourning over tragedies that were not my own.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is wonderful, but the experience is even more wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
Everything popular is wrong.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.

I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
Oscar Wilde
