Oscar Wilde
Image
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
But we never get back our youth… The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
Image
the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.
Oscar Wilde
