Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes. - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

"Jemanden zu beeinflussen bedeutet, ihm eine fremde Seele zu geben."

"When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance."

"A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her."

"You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know."

"I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life."
