"A subject that is beautiful in itself..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“To get back one's youth one has merely to repeat one's follies.”

“My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect---simply a confession of failures. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don't want to interrupt you. Go on with your story.”

“A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.”

“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.”

“The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.”

“No art can conquer the people alone-the people are conquered by an ideal of life upheld by authority.”

“I sail with you on the ocean of my dreamsto a far away distant Place of great beauty and tranquility.where suffering and pain do not exist,where we give praises for our joy and happiness,where our Love interwines with Love for all things.”

“When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.”

“The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree.”
