"A sentimentalist is simply one who desires..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Even now I cannot help feeling that it is a mistake to think that the passion one feels in creation is ever really shown in the work one creates.”

“Learned conversation is either the affectation of the ignorant or the profession of the mentally unemployed.”

“In England it is enough for a man to try and produce any serious, beautiful work to lose all his rights as a citizen.”

“I try to open up my heart as much as I can and keep a real keen eye out that I don't get sentimental. I think we're all afraid to reveal our hearts. It's not at all in fashion.”

“Don't get all sentimental on me, Makes me think I'm gonna die.”

“Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality.”

“To want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain. And then to want and not to have- to want and want- how that wrung the heart, and wrung it again and again!”

“When they remain silent, they cry out.”

“One can fall in love and still hate.”
