Oscar Wilde
If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance
Oscar Wilde
Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain.
Oscar Wilde
A passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young.
Oscar Wilde
Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
Oscar Wilde
The sure way of knowing nothing about life is to try to make oneself useful.
Oscar Wilde
