Daily quote |
Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde)There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us. There is always something infinitely mean about other people's tragedies. There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love. There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob; all authority is equally bad. There is no sin except stupidity. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about. There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose. There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else. There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. |
