The answers are all out there, we just need to ask the right questions.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
In England ... education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and would probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
Oscar Wilde

The wild Bee reels from bough to bough With his furry coat and his gauzy wing, Now in a lily cup, and now Setting a jacinth bell a-swing, In his wandering.

The truth is never pure and rarely simple.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
