Additional quotes by Oscar Wilde

Psikologların söylediğine göre,hayatta öyle anlar vardır ki günaha -veya toplumun günah saydığı şeylere duyulan tutku kişinin benliğine o kadar el koyar ki bedenin her lifi, beynin her hücresi sanki korkunç itkilerle ayaklanır. Böyle zamanlarda kadınlar ve erkekler istem bağımsızlığını kaybederler. Kendilerini bekleyen sona kurulu birer robot gibi ilerlerler. Seçme yetisi ellerinden alınmıştır. Bilinç ya öldürülmüş, ya da sağsa, yalnızca isyan etmeye cazibe katmak, inatçılığı şirin göstermek için yaşıyordur. Çünkü bütün günahların kaynağı, ilahiyatçıların bıkıp usanmadan söyledikleri gibi, büyüklerin sözünü dinlememektir.

It will be a marvellous thing--the true personality of man--when we see it. It will grow naturally and simply, flowerlike, or as a tree grows. It will not be at discord. It will never argue or dispute. It will not prove things. It will know everything. And yet it will not busy itself about knowledge. It will have wisdom. Its value will not be measured by material things. It will have nothing. And yet it will have everything, and whatever one takes from it, it will still have, so rich will it be. It will not be always meddling with others, or asking them to be like itself. It will love them because they will be different. And yet while it will not meddle with others, it will help all, as a beautiful thing helps us, by being what it is. The personality of man will be very wonderful. It will be as wonderful as the personality of a child.
