"I can stand brute force, but brute..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”

“I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art: I altered the minds of men, and the colour of things: I awoke the imagination of my century so that it created myth and legend around me: I summed up all things in a phrase, all existence in an epigram: whatever I touched I made beautiful”

“Death is a great price to pay for a red rose“, cried the Nightingale, "and Life is very dear to all. “ It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent oft he hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?”

“We often are consoled by our want of reason for misfortunes that reason could not have comforted.”

“I do not seek to quench your love's hot fire,But qualify the fire's extreme rage,Lest it should burn above the bounds of reason.”

“The law is reason, free from passion.”

“Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.”

“Force is the antithesis of freedom, but force must be used, if only to defend against other force.”

“If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.”
