It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.

Women have become so highly educated... that nothing should surprise us nowadays, except happy marriages.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I am afraid that you have been listening to the conversation of someone older than yourself. That is always a dangerous thing to do, and if you allow it to degenerate into a habit, you will find it absolutely fatal to any intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

To define is to limit.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If God wished to punish us, all he would need to do would be to answer our prayers.

Millionaire models are rare enough but model millionaires are rarer still!

To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
