"All thought is immoral. Its very essence..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memories.”

“Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.”

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

“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”

“Thought makes the whole dignity of man; therefore endeavor to think well, that is the only morality.”

“You may impose silence upon me, but you can not prevent me from thinking.”

“There are some duties we owe even to those who have wronged us. There is, after all, a limit to retribution and punishment.”

“Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.”

“The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from the artist is to make him ruin his work.”
