“One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down ever...” — Oscar Wilde Quote

“One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.”

“Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.”

“Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.”

“The one close to me now,”

“Be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.”

“Fairytales by nature only talk about the victors. The survivors. Nobody speaks about what happens to those who failed, except in the abstract: as cautionary tales to guide others onto the path to success. How many brave knights fell to the dragon before he was slayed by the noble prince? How many children burned to a crisp and eaten before the wicked witch received her due? These stories are lost, but the lesson behind them is not: it is not enough to be merely pure and good.”
