Oscar Wilde

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”

–o–

“I don’t want to go to heaven. None of my friends are there.”

–o–

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotations.”

–o–

“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”

–o–

“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”

–o–

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”

–o–

“The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.”

–o–

“I am a little too old now, myself, to trouble about setting a good example, but I always admire people who do.”

–o–

“A mask tells us more than a face.”

–o–

“After all, the only proper intoxication is conversation.”

–o–

“People never think of cultivating a young girl’s imagination. It is the great defect of modern education.”

–o–

“Suicide is the greatest compliment that one can pay to society.”

–o–

“We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.”

–o–

“God would grow weary if I told my sins.”

–o–

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
