Additional quotes by Oscar Wilde

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Misfortunes one can endure — they come from outside, they are accidents. But to suffer for one's own faults — ah! — there is the sting of life.

One should always be in love. That's the reason one should never marry.

Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better. - Oscar Wilde
