Romance Quote by Oscar Wilde — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.”

“To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor”

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

“Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.”

“It would kill the past, and when that was dead, he would be free.”

“With slouch and swing around the ring”

“We kiss all the time." I clear my throat, then add, "We just...do it in private.”

“I would know you anywhere for my true love. Whoever I was and whoever you were, I would know you at once for my true love.”

“Your body wages biological warfare on me.”

“This principle - that your spouse should be capable of becoming your best friend - is a game changer when you address the question of compatibility in a prospective spouse. If you think of marriage largely in terms of erotic love, then compatibility means sexual chemistry and appeal. If you think of marriage largely as a way to move into the kind of social status in life you desire, then compatibility means being part of the desired social class, and perhaps common tastes and aspirations for lifestyle. The problem with these factors is that they are not durable. Physical attractiveness will wane, no matter how hard you work to delay its departure. And socio-economic status unfortunately can change almost overnight. When people think they have found compatibility based on these things, they often make the painful discovery that they have built their relationship on unstable ground. A woman 'lets herself go' or a man loses his job, and the compatibility foundation falls apart.”

“One can't fight with oneself, for this battle has only one loser.”
