More quotes by Oscar Wilde
She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.

Oscar Wilde
