One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.
Oscar Wilde

Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
In a temple everything should be serious except the thing that is being worshiped.
Oscar Wilde
Image
At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me. It's perfectly awful to let the mind grind itself away between the upper and nether millstones of regret and remorse without respite with books my life would be livable -- any life.
Oscar Wilde
