Oscar Wilde

Society, civilised society at least, is never ready to receive any statement of a disagreeable truth.

It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.

Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.

I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.

The only difference between a saint and a sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
