The final mystery is oneself... Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

Oscar Wilde
Image
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde

It is only fair to state, with regard to modern journalists, that they always apologize to one in private for what they have written against one in public.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde

We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.
Oscar Wilde
