There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Technique is really personali...

America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
