The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde: life quotes

When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.

Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.

A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.

I worshipped you too much. I am punished for it. You worshipped yourself too much. We are both punished.

Anything becomes a pleasure if one does it too often.

Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.

"All ways end at the same point, my dear Gladys."
"What is that?"
"Disillusion."

Every effect that one produces gives one an enemy.

We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all.
