Oscar Wilde
The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly-that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays.

But their own souls starve, and are naked.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes...
