Oscar Wilde

"One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry."

"Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals."

"Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result."

"The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties."

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

"There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about."

"There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else."

"There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

"Those whom the gods love grow young."

"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."

"When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is."

"Who, being loved, is poor?"

"Women are made to be loved, not understood."

"Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects."

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes."

"You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit."
