By Oscar Wilde

"Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. "

"A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction."

"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his."

"As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied."

"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same. "

"How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. "

"How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive. "

"I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything."

"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance. "

"No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating."

"One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry. "

"She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman."

"The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties. "

"There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about."

"When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her. "

"Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat. "

"Women are made to be loved, not understood. "

"Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes. "
