Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
Oscar Wilde

In married life three is company and two none.
Oscar Wilde

It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde

The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me. It's perfectly awful to let the mind grind itself away between the upper and nether millstones of regret and remorse without respite with books my life would be livable -- any life.
Oscar Wilde

Don't tell me that you have exhausted Life. When a man says that, one knows that life has exhausted him.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is so easy to convince others it is so difficult to convince oneself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
Oscar Wilde

Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde

However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive.
Oscar Wilde

If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?
