It is difficult not to be unjust to what one loves.
--The Critic As Artist
The worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic.
--The Picture of Dorian Gray
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
--In Conversation
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
--In Conversation
A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.
--The Picture of Dorian Gray
When one is in love one begins by deceiving oneself. And ends by deceiving others.
That is what the world calls a romance.
--A Woman of No Importance
Men marry because they are tired; women because they are curious; both are disappointed.
--The Picture of Dorian Gray
The one charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
--The Picture of Dorian Gray
MRS. ALLONBY: My husband is a sort of promissory note; I'm tired of meeting him.
--A Woman of No Importance
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect--
simply a confession of failures.
--The Picture of Dorian Gray
...in married life three is company and two is none.
--The Importance of Being Earnest
I am not in favor of long engagements.They give people the opportunity of finding out each others' character before marriage, which I think is never advisable.
--The Important of Being Ernest
If we men married the women we deserve we should have a very bad time of it.
--The Ideal Husband
The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding.
--Lord Arthur Savile's Crime
Englishwomen conceal their feelings till after they are married. They show them then.
--A Woman of No Importance
There's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman.
It's a thing no married man knows anything about.
--Lady Windermere's Fan
The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous.
It looks so bad. It is simply washing one's clean linen in public.
--The Importance of Being Earnest
It is the growth of the moral sense in women that makes marriage such a hopeless
one-sided institution.
--An Ideal Husband
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and makes one believe things that are not true.
--The Nightingale and the Rose
