Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I can't stand people that do not take food seriously.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
Art persists, it timelessly continues.
Oscar Wilde
The moon in her chariot of pearl
Oscar Wilde
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
