"Sırf kibir şu insanların cehennem umudu. İyi niyet diye bir şey yok. Tanrı'nın nerede olduğunu Tanrı'dan başka kimse bilemez.....Cennet, cehennem ve araf insanın cebinde sakladığı ve ancak bayramlarda çıkarıp taktığı mücevherler kadar parlak ve en az onlar kadar küçük. Bu gri bulutlar kimbilir kaçıncı ölümümden haberdar ediyor beni. Hem bir elimde oğlum bir elimde kızım olmadığı sürece, ha cennete gitmişim ha cehenneme, ne fark eder ki?"

Sol-Sağ
"Sol-sağ... Çılgın sevgilerin ve şuursuz kinlerin emzirdiği iki ifrit. Toplum yapımızla herhangi bir ilgisi olmayan iki yabancı. Sol'un halk vicdanında yarattığı tedailer, casusluk, darağaçları, Moskova; sağ'ın, müphem, sevimsiz, sinsi bir iki hayal. Hristiyan Avrupa'nın bu habis kelimelerinden bize ne? Bu maskeli haydutları hafızalarımızdan kovmak ve kendi gerçekliğimizi kendi kelimelerimizle anlayıp anlatmak, her namuslu yazarın vicdan borcu"

"Of course, married life is merely a habit, a bad habit. But then one regrets the loss even of one’s worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one’s personality.”
"Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude."
"We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all.”
Another generalisation.
"When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.”
"It often seems to me that art conceals the artist far more completely than it ever reveals him."
"The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror."
"The real drawback to marriage is that it makes one unselfish. And unselfish people are colourless. They lack individuality. Still, there are certain temperaments that marriage makes more complex. They retain their egotism, and add to it many other egos. They are forced to have more than one life. They become more highly organized, and to be highly organized is, I should fancy, the object of man’s existence."
"Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.”
"Women defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrenders."
He began to wonder whether we could ever make psychology so absolute a science that each little spring of life would be revealed to us. As it was, we always misunderstood ourselves and rarely understood others. Experience was of no ethical value. It was merely the name men gave to their mistakes.
“People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.”
“A blush is very becoming, Duchess,” remarked Lord Henry.
“Only when one is young,” she answered. “When an old woman like myself blushes, it is a very bad sign. Ah! Lord Henry, I wish you would tell me how to become young again.”
He thought for a moment. “Can you remember any great error that you committed in your early days, Duchess?” he asked, looking at her across the table.
“A great many, I fear,” she cried.
“Then commit them over again,” he said gravely. “To get back one’s youth, one has merely to repeat one’s follies.”
