Quote by Oscar Wilde

“but love is not fashionable anymore, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about it that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and is silent. I remember myself once-but no matter now. Romance is a thing of the past.”

“And when you lose the best woman you ever knew because you failed to do anything but make her feel like shit...know that it was your own god damn fault because when you had her all she wanted was to love you and you did everything to show you didn't care. You did everything to kill that love until it finally disappeared. And the thing is, you'll be the one who despairs when you see another man cherishing the woman you refused to treasure despite her obvious wretched devotion.”
