To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders...It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.
Can they feel, I wonder, those white silent people we call the dead?
Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.
This ghastly state of things is what you call Bunburying, I suppose? Algernon. Yes, and a perfectly wonderful Bunbury it is. The most wonderful Bunbury I have ever had in my life. Jack. Well, you've no right whatsoever to Bunbury here. Algernon. That is absurd. One has a right to Bunbury anywhere one chooses. Every serious Bunburyist knows that.
Live the wonderful life that is in you.

To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders...It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Thinking is wonderful, but the experience is even more wonderful.
I walk the world in wonder.
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.

In love, it is better to know and be disappointed, than to not know and always wonder.
The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
