He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about. – Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibers, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. – Oscar Wilde
I forgot that every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character, and that therefore what one has done in the secret chamber one has some day to cry aloud on the house-tops. – Oscar Wilde
