"Behind Joy and Laughter there may be..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.”

“An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant as the case may be.”

“I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.”

“One forgives to the degree that one loves.”

“Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler ever shocked me so badly as these photographs did.”

“If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?”

“Thought began to take over and obscured the simple yet profound joy of connectedness with being.”

“When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, I spend all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body accepts what it is. In the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue.”

“Not the sun or summer alone, but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight.”
