Daily quote |
Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde)The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible. The truth is rarely pure and never simple. The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves. The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. The world is divided into two classes, those who believe the incredible, and those who do the improbable. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating - people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing. There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. |
