Divorces are made in Heaven.
Girls never marry to the men they flirt with.

In married life, three is company and two is none.

Do you like Wilde? What's your favourite quotes?
Yes, I do like Oscar Wilde. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a great book, and there is a really cool short story called The Ghost of Canterville or something like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd just like Dorian, I have given my soul to the Devil ... muhahaha ... isn't that scary?
Cold As Heaven
I haven't read Wilde since college, but I agree with Cold As Heaven - I do like The Picture of Dorian Gray. Unlike Cold, I have not given my soul to the Devil. I tried to, but he just shivered.
ReplyDeleteI do like Wilde, but I'm not sure what the best quote is...Probably "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

Interesting that the essence of romance is uncertainty. Maybe that's the essence of a successful romance novel. What do you think?

Thanks Helen, Cold, Michele and Monti, Wilde words were so memorable. I remember Colin Firth did the movie of Dorian Gray too. Must check it out.
