“We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Was soll ich mit meinem Munde? Mit meiner Nacht? Mit meinem Tag? Ich habe keine Geliebte, kein Haus, keine Stelle auf der ich lebe”

“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
