“Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.”
― Selected Poems of Oscar Wilde including the Ballad of Reading Gaol

“در این زمانه که اهرمن بر هرکس و هرچیز راهی دارد، جماعتی، گوئی به ظلم سرشته، درهم ریخته ایم: خواب زدگانی، ستم دیدگانی، ستمکار، با آز که آئین او بر ما رواست. با دروغ، پیروز و آزادی اسیر. همدست کسانی هستم که دوستشان ندارم.”
