“After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.” ― Oscar Wilde

“One of the great secrets of life. Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense and discover too late that the only things one never regrets are one’s mistakes.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

BELFAST IMAGES: INTELLECTUAL EXPRESSION

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

“But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don’t think.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

BELFAST IMAGES: COMES INTO EXISTENCE

Published on by jacquelinemhadel3 Comments

“Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.” ― Oscar Wilde

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

You lost life’s secret.”
― Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance
