Oscar Wilde quote: "Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life."
Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life. Oscar Wilde
Oh, I can't explain. When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.

Oscar Wilde
