"We quaff the cup of life with..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.”

“Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.”

“History is merely gossip”

“When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life, and it is only fair that one has to pay dearly for having assaulted men and things in this manner with Yes and No. Everything is arranged so that the worst of tastes, the taste for the unconditional, should be cruelly fooled and abused until a man learns to put a little art into his feelings and rather to risk trying even what is artificial — as the real artists of life do.”

“Nature has circumscribed the field of life within small dimensions, but has left the field of glory unmeasured.”

“I will not just live my life. I will not just spend my life. I will invest my life.”

“People take death lightly. They expect too much of life. That is why people take death lightly.”

“Sometimes it seems the whole purpose of pets is to bring death into the house.”

“I'm bored with it all. Before slipping into a coma. He died 9 days later.”
