Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
We are the zanies of sorrow. We are clowns whose hearts are broken.
Oscar Wilde
I don't know how to talk. Oh! talk to every woman as if you loved her, and to every man as if he bored you, and at the end of your first season you will have the reputation of possessing the most perfect social tact.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise
Oscar Wilde
