"There are many things that we would..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating.”

“A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.”

“Misery and poverty are so absolutely degrading, and exercise sucha paralysing effect over the nature of men, that no class is ever really conscious of its own suffering. They have to be told of it by other people, and they often entirely disbelieve them.”

“The more a man possesses over and above what he uses, the more careworn he becomes.”

“Truly, whoever possesses little is that much less possessed: praised be a little poverty!”

“My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.”

“Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What's closer to nature's heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can't you see? It's just the same with you - and just as vital to nature.”

“To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?”

“Logically, harmony must come from the heart... Harmony very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.”
