Crying is for plain women. Pretty women go shopping. - Oscar Wilde

"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance."

"To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

"There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better."

"It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes."

"Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination."
