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

“Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.”

“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.”

“Actors are so fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different. Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualifications. Our Guildensterns play Hamlet for us, and our Hamlets have to jest like Prince Hal. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.”

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

“She lives the poetry she cannot write.”

“I have nothing to declare except my genius.”

“Who said, 'All Time's delight”

“You don't notice the dead leaving when they really choose to leave you. You're not meant to. At most you feel them as a whisper or the wave of a whisper undulating down. I would compare it to a woman in the back of a lecture hall or theater whom no one notices until she slips out.Then only those near the door themselves, like Grandma Lynn, notice; to the rest it is like an unexplained breeze in a closed room.”

“Some things are private. Some things needed to be said, even when the person who needed to hear them couldn’t hear anything. Ever again.”

“Undo it, take it back, make every day the previous one until I am returned to the day before the one that made you gone. Or set me on an airplane traveling west, crossing the date line again and again, losing this day, then that, until the day of loss still lies ahead, and you are here instead of sorrow.”

“You don't know what cold is until you've experienced the cold you feel when the blood is draining out of your body.”
