Oscar Wilde
The English country-gentleman galloping after a fox — the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.

The reason we are so pleased to find other people's secrets is that it distracts public attention from our own.
Oscar Wilde
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself, because others are already taken.
Oscar Wilde
The last person who ever crossed me is dead under my bed!!!
Oscar Wilde
I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde
