Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
Image
People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.
Oscar Wilde
