Nothing is more evident than that Nature hates mind. Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching. Our splendid physique as a people is entirely due to our national stupidity.

I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself, and I am so clever that I sometimes don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

I'm too fond of reading books to care to write them.

Oscar Wilde


Go to quote


It is always painful to part from people whom one has known
for a very brief space of time. The absence of old friends
one can endure with equanimity. But even a momentary
separation from anyone to whom one has just been introduced
is almost unbearable.

Oscar Wilde

The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ.

The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live, that is what I mean - so Bunbury died.

He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians. I am glad, however, that he made up his mind at the last to some definite course of action, and acted under proper medical advice.
