I am experimenting something here. Oscar Wilde has got some bold quotes that only he could say. Translations as they apply now in my life.
1. "A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal." Translation: Calling a girl once in a while means I am not into her - calling more than three times a day means I am deperately insane or become a stalker.
2. "Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live." Good one - in line with Ayn Rand's Virtue of Selfishness. I know which women to stay away from.
3. "Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow." Took me a while - but I get it now.
4. "Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong." Oh yes, I do!
5. "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about." - It is shit and nauseating anyway so why bother!
6. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Living in despair with your sex life? Live with the fantasy. It helps.
7. "I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex." Does alcohol, sex, and gambling fall under this?
8. "I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world." - Mind you operative word - like. Don't like saints for sure.
9. "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." - Can't agree more, especially when temptations are bodily temptations.
10. "There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution." - This is why hearing a sorry can be obnoxious at times.
11. "Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made." And the f* book calls it a sin? Huh!
12. "To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable." - This is coolest one!
