Oscar Wilde
Life is too short to learn German
Oscar Wilde
We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
The one charm about the past is that it is the past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen.
Oscar Wilde
A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.
Oscar Wilde
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of herself. -Author Unknown As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing.
Oscar Wilde
