More Quotes from Oscar Wilde:
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.Oscar Wilde
To influence a person is to give him ones own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of some one elses music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.
Oscar Wilde
Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.
Oscar Wilde
In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.
Oscar Wilde
Put your talent into your work, but your genius into your life
