Tread Lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To have friends, you know, one need only be good-natured but when a man has no enemy left there must be something mean about him.
Oscar Wilde
Image
She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.

The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Aestheticism is a search after the signs of the beautiful. It is the science of the beautiful through which men seek the correlation of the arts. It is, to speak more exactly, the search after the secret of life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde

Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage: a marriage in which there is love, but on one side only.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Civilization is not by means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt.
Oscar Wilde
