I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar WildeTo regret oneโs own experiences is to arrest oneโs own development. To deny oneโs own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of oneโs own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.
Oscar WildeHuman life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams.
