Authority is quite degrading.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde

An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant as the case may be.

Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.

I don't mind plain women being puritans. It is the only excuse they have for being plain.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
Always! That is the dreadful word ... it is a meaningless word, too.
Oscar Wilde
Image
But we never get back our youth… The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
Oscar Wilde
