More quotes by Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Men marry because they are tired; women because they are curious. Both are disappointed.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
