When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving ones self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance. – Oscar Wilde
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesnt. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism. – Oscar Wilde
The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to encourage in others. – Oscar Wilde
To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist — the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with ones vinegar. – Oscar Wilde
Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the fathers curse, mothers moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks. – Emma Goldman
