Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.
Oscar Wilde
