If Nature had been comfortable, mankind would never have invented architecture.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The great things in life are ...

The great things in life are what they seem to be. And for that reason, strange as it may sound to you, often are very difficult to interpret (understand). Great passions are for the great of souls. Great events can only be seen by people who are on a level with them. We think we can have our visions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing visions have to be paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

If one were to live his life ...

If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Romance should never begin wi...

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement. Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman. When one is in love one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. This is what the world calls a romance.

Dear little Swallow,’ said the Prince, ‘you tell me of marvelous things, but more marvelous than anything is the suffering of men and of women. There is no Mystery so great as Misery.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Art finds her own perfection ...

The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The supreme object of life is to live. Few people live. It is true life only to realize one's own perfection, to make one's every dream a reality.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Humanity takes itself too ser...

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.

I did not think I should be ever loved: do you indeed Love me so much as now you say you do? Ask of the sea-bird if it loves the sea, Ask of the roses if they love the rain, Ask of the little lark, that will not sing Till day break, if it loves to see the day: And yet, these are but empty images, Mere shadows of my love, which is a fire So great that all the waters of the main Can not avail to quench it.

A gentleman never offends unintentionally

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Be happy, be happy; you shall...

Be happy, be happy; you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.

The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.

For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.

Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.

Literature always anticipates life. It doesn't copy it but moulds it to it's purpose.

In old days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. Nowadays books are written by the public and read by nobody.
