Oscar Wilde
You can have your secret as long as I have your heart[.]
Oscar Wilde
The truth is never pure and rarely simple.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise
Oscar Wilde
He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Oscar Wilde
To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist - the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar.
Oscar Wilde
The beautiful, passionate, ruined South, the land of magnolias and music, of roses and romance . . . living on the memory of crushing defeats
Oscar Wilde
