Oscar Wilde

In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.

In married life three is company and two none.

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.

One’s real life is so often the life that one does not lead.

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life’s sores the better.

I put all my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works.

Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.
