Oscar WildeThe gods are strange. It is not our vices only they make instruments to scourge us. They bring us to ruin through what in us is good, gentle, humane, loving.
Oscar WildeWhen I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.
Oscar WildeWhat the worm was to the corpse, his sins would be to the painted image on the canvas. They would mar its beauty, and eat away its grace. they would defile it, and make it shameful. And yet the thing would still live on. It would be always alive. (Dorian Gray regarding his portrait)
Oscar WildeHe was a hero to his valet, who bullied him, and a terror to most of his relations, whom he bullied in turn.
