QUOTES BY Oscar Wilde

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

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

A flower blossoms for its own joy.

Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
