"We are the zanies of sorrow. We..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde
We are the zanies of sorrow. We are clowns whose hearts are broken.

“It is a pity to make a mystery out of what should most easily be understood. There is nothing occult about the thought that all things maybe made well or made ill. A work of art is a well-made thing - that is all. It may be a well-made statue of a well-made chair or a well-made book. Art is not a special sauce applied to ordinary cooking; it is the cooking itself that is good. Most simply and generally, Art may be thought of as "The Well Doing of What Needs Doing."”
“You know what a woman's curiosity is.”
“Why was I born with such contemporaries?”

“Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic - if it is pulled out I shall die.”
“Prosperity, pleasure and success, may be rough of grain and common in fibre, but sorrow is the most sensitive of all created things. There is nothing that stirs in the whole world of thought to which sorrow does not vibrate in terrible and exquisite pulsation. The thin beaten-out leaf of tremulous gold that chronicles the direction of forces the eye cannot see is in comparison coarse. It is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of love touches it, and even then must bleed again, though not in pain.”
“There is peace and rest and comfort in sorrow”

“And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.”
“You realize who you're in love with is fading fast. You don't know what to do, but in that period time moves so slowly.”
