Oscar Wilde Quotes

What a silly thing love is!' said the student as he walked away. 'It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.

So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book, and began to read.

Oscar Wilde
