I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
Oscar Wilde

The job of the critic is to report to us his moods.
Oscar Wilde
Image
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde

With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
Oscar Wilde
Image
And all, but Lust, is turned to dust In Humanity's machine.
