in thy sight
are but as yesterday
when it is past

Oscar Wilde
 truly, if i have to pick a favorite writer amongst everything that i have read, it would be Oscar Wilde. “Man can believe the impossible, but can never believe the improbable” “There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” “They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.” “Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.” “A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.” “Everything popular is wrong.” “Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.” “What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” “I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” “The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.” “Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.” “The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.” “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.” “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” “Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.” “Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.” “I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.” “He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize.” “I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.” “When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.” “No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.” “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” “A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” “When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.” “A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.” “Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.” “I don't want to earn my living; I want to live.” “Popularity is the one insult I have never suffered.” “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” “To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.” “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” “Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.” “Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.” “Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.” “I live in fear of not being misunderstood.” “To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.” “All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.” “A mask tells us more than a face.” “A true friend stabs you in the front.” “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” “The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.” “The value of an idea has nothing to do with the success of the man who expresses it.” “Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.” “It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.” “Art never expresses anything but itself.” “It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.” “Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.” “It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors” “People who count their chickens before they are hatched, act very wisely, because chickens run about so absurdly that it is impossible to count them accurately.” “I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.” “Mere colour, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” “Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.” “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” “Where there is no extravagance there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding.” |
