Oscar Wilde is the great cynic of the 19th century. British writer, playwright with Irish roots, a bright star of his time. His main asset is his amazing aphorisms and sayings, which are admired by millions of readers. And despite the fact that most of them are collected from the canvases of his works, they are appreciated and loved for their independence.
# Women are made to be loved, not to be understood.
# A woman is the primacy of work over thought; man is the primacy of thought over morality.
# Women have amazing intuition. They notice everything but the obvious.
# Women, defending themselves, just go on the attack.
# Love elevates a person above himself, makes a person kinder.
# Nothing interferes with a romance like a woman's sense of humor or a man's lack of it.
# Men marry out of fatigue, women marry out of curiosity. Both marriages are disappointing.
# Falling in love begins with the fact that a person deceives himself, and ends with the fact that he deceives another.
# In love, fidelity is entirely a matter of physiology, it does not depend on our will at all. Young people want to be faithful - and they don’t, old people would like to change, but where can they!
# Loyalty in love is simply proof of impotence. Loyalty! This is the greed of the owner. We would gladly give up a lot if it were not for the fear that someone else will pick it up.
# Only a truly good woman is able to commit a truly stupid act.
# The main harm of marriage is that it eradicates selfishness from people. And unselfish people are colorless, they lose their individuality. There are people whom marriage makes difficult. Keeping their "I", they supplement it with many other "I". Such a person is forced to live more than one life and becomes a highly organized person, and this, I believe, is the purpose of our existence.
# Pleasure is to adore someone. It is better to adore than to be admired. To endure someone's adoration is boring and painful. People relate to the object of their adoration, like mankind - to their gods: they worship us - and get bored, constantly demanding something. They inspire us to great things, but always prevent us from doing them.
# A man can be happy with any woman only if he loves her.
# Love feeds on repetition, and only repetition turns mere lust into art. Moreover, every time you fall in love, you love for the first time. The object of passion changes, but passion always remains the one and only. The change only makes it stronger. Life gives a person at best only one great moment, and the secret of happiness is to live this great moment for as long as possible.
# Knowledge is detrimental to love. Only the unknown captivates us. In the fog, everything seems unusual.
# To love yourself is the beginning of a romance that will last a lifetime.
# The only way a woman can re-educate a man is to do him so much harm that he loses all taste for life.
# There is nothing higher than the devotion of a married woman, no married man reaches such a height.
# Ugly women are always jealous of their husbands, but beautiful women never. They have no time, they are so busy jealous of other people's husbands.
# 20 years of love affairs turn a woman into a ruin, and 20 years of marriage make her look like a public building.
# You can not trust a woman who speaks frankly about her age. A woman who confesses this will not hesitate to say anything.
# Women love us for our flaws. If we have enough of them, they are ready to forgive us everything, even our gigantic mind.
# A man certainly wants to be the first love of a woman, this shows his clumsy vanity. Women are much thinner and more sensitive in everything. They like to be the subject of a man's last passion.
# Sometimes you don't have to try to understand a woman. Women are pictures and men are riddles. If you really want to understand a woman, which is always pretty dangerous, by the way, look at her, but don't listen to her.
# Love should forgive all sins, but not the sin against love.
