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.

More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
Oscar Wilde
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
Oscar Wilde
Behind Joy and Laughter there may be a temperament, coarse, hard and callous. But behind Sorrow there is always Sorrow. Pain, unlike Pleasure, wears no mask.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
