"Woman begins by resisting a man's advances..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.”

“Literature must rest always on a principle, and temporal considerations are no principle at all. For, to the poet, all times and places are one; the stuff he deals with is eternal and eternally the same: no theme is inept, no past or present preferable.”

“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.”

“There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.”

“The only way for a woman to provide for herself decently is for her to be good to some man that can afford to be good to her.”

“What I hope to do is create a play that investigates the ongoing violence toward women and children in the world, and searches for some kind of answer to the question, 'What Can We Do?'”

“Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.”

“A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity; but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.”

“Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier.”
