Daily quote |
Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde)No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating. Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul. Nothing is so aggravating than calmness. Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm. One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation. One of the many lessons that one learns in prison is, that things are what they are and will be what they will be. One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry. One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards. One's past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged. One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead. |
