"He lives the poetry that he cannot..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Missionaries are going to reform the world whether it wants to or not.”

“Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.”

“Some things are more precious because they don't last long.”

“I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew, Than one of these same Meeter Ballad-mongers: I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd, Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle-tree, And that would set my teeth nothing an edge, Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie.”

“More people write poetry than read it.”

“Every poet has trembled on the verge of science.”

“In my 20s, I worked very, very hard. I have a much more balanced life now.”

“The only constant factor in life is our feelings and attitudes toward life. One of the few things that we have total control over is our own attitude.”

“What is life? A continuous praise and blame.”
