"I have always been of opinion that..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.”

“And now, I am dying beyond my means. (Said while sipping champagne on his deathbed.)”

“Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.”

“Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.”

“It's a dangerous thing to be married right up to the hilt, like my daughter's husband. The man is at home all day, like a damned soul in hell.”

“If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.”

“Trust not my reading, nor my observations, Which with experimental seal do warrant The tenor of my book.”

“One should never know too precisely whom one has married”

“We shall see but a little way if we require to understand what we see.”
