To be entirely free, and at the same time entirely dominated by law, is the eternal paradox of human life.
Oscar WildeThe reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar WildeA man's life is of more value than a woman's. It has larger issues, wider scope, greater ambitions. Our lives revolve in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses. I have just learnt this, and much else with it, from Lord Goring. And I will not spoil your life for you, nor see you spoil it as a sacrifice to me, a useless sacrifice.
Oscar Wilde
