I want the dead lovers of our world to hear our laughter, to grow sad.

I want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain -Oscar Wilde

[quotes-that-speak-to-me]

“I make a great difference between people. I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. I have not got one who is a fool. They are all men of some intellectual power, and consequently they all appreciate me. Is that very vain of me? I think it is rather vain.”

-Lord Henry
