Oscar Wilde

Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.

Who, being loved, is poor?

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

True friends stab you in the front.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex and vital.
