Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Adevaratul inconvenient al casatoriei este ca te face altruist. Si oamenii altruisti sunt lipsiti de culoare. Le lipseste individualitatea. Cu toate astea, exista anumite temperamente care devin mai complexe in urma casatoriei. Isi pastreaza egoismul si ii adauga mai multe ego-uri. Sunt obligati sa duca mai multe vieti. Devin mult mai bine organizati si a fi foarte bine organizat este, dupa parerea mea, obiectivul existentei umane.”

Today, I heard the same story again — that half of all marriages end in divorce. Now, it’s a story about my kids. I heard that same exact story three times — the same exact words — but each time I heard it, it was a completely different story. It changed because I changed.”

“No, Little Nightmare. In all the many years before you first terrified me, I never ... married." He raised an eyebrow as if to suggest more by the word. "That kind of knowledge of a person has its own kind of power. I have never felt so overcome that I have desired another person to know what makes me gasp with delight or sigh with pleasure. Knowledge is power. And I have kept that power to myself." He looked up at the stars before continuing. "It's so much harder to be cruel when you're in love. And so much easier to be betrayed.”
