"I must say... that I ruined myself:..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Lean on principles, one day they'll end up giving way.”

“It takes a thoroughly good woman to do a thoroughly stupid thing”

“One should absorb the color of life.”

“Because everyone is guilty for everyone else. For all the 'wee ones,' because there are little children and big children. All people are 'wee ones.' And I'll go for all of them, because there must be someone who will go for all of them.”

“Justice is in subjects as well as in rulers.”

“My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.”

“Sadly, sadly, the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away.”

“There's another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater. We usually think of what hate does for the individual hated or the individuals hated or the groups hated. But it is even more tragic, it is even more ruinous and injurious to the individual who hates. [...] For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That's what hate does.”

“He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”
