Oscar Wilde
Image
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When a man is old enough to do wrong he should be old enough to do right also.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I never read a book I must review it prejudices you so.
Oscar Wilde
