Oscar Wilde is sick

Ok so i'm in the process of writing my seven deadly sins essay, which i had already mention on a post bellow...

so i'm looking for quotes right, cuz im that kind of person who always starts her essays with the oh so typical:

"William James once said '....'" or "J.K. Rowling once said '...'" etc

i'm also the kind of person who wears sweater vests, but that's neither here nor there...

so i google "quotes on sin" and i got like a trillion hits, but i just go to the first option (which by the way i have recently found out how people make their websites be the first on the list) and among the first ones up pops WIlde...

now here me out, of course i heard and even read some material by oscar wilde (i was jack when reading the importance of being ernest out loud in my senior english class for god sakes! yeah i dont know why i ended up being a guy, but whatever i was the best fucking jack ever.) i remember the importance of being ernest being hilarious, but i dont think i payed much attention.

This guy was brilliant!

i'll just write some of his quotes i found the coolest...

“Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.”

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

“Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.”

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

“If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.”

“I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.”

“The heart was made to be broken”

"A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction. "

etc...

he is brilliant look him up. i know what im getting next time i go to barns and noble...

anyway...
peace
