Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

[Oscar Wilde @bestsowilde]

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

[Oscar Wilde @bestsowilde]

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects.

[Oscar Wilde @bestsowilde]

[Oscar Wilde @bestsowilde]

I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.

[Oscar Wilde @bestsowilde]

Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.

[Oscar Wilde @bestsowilde]

Everything popular is wrong.
