I envy you going to Oxford: it is the most flower-like time of one's life. One sees the shadow of things in silver mirrors. Later on, one sees the Gorgon's head, and one suffers, because it does not turn one to stone.
Oscar Wilde
Image
People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
