Oscar Wilde Quotes

I never change.

MRS. CHEVELEY: (elevating her eyebrows) Then life has taught you nothing?

LADY CHILTERN: It has taught me that a person who has once been guilty of a dishonest and dishonorable action may be guilty of it a second time, and should be shunned.

MRS. CHEVELEY: Whould that rule apply to everyone?

LADY CHILTERN: Yes, to everyone, without exception.

MRS. CHEVELEY: Then I am sorry for you, Gertrude, very sorry for you.

Oscar Wilde

As we all know, sometimes our first instinct is to want to hit a homosexual in the mouth and want a woman to be quiet. We want to hit a homosexual in the mouth because we're afraid we might be homosexual; and we want to hit the woman or shut her up because we're afraid that she might castrate us. The remedy is to gain security in ourselves and therefore have respect and feelings for all oppressed people. Huey Newton
