I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
Oscar Wilde
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.

Oscar Wilde
Women, as some witty Frenchman once put it, inspire us with the desire to do masterpieces and always prevent us from carrying them out.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
