oscar wilde quotes for the signs

Aries: ”I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

Taurus: ”If a man treats a life artistically, his brain is his heart.”

Gemini: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.“ 

Cancer: ”To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.“

Leo: “Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.”

Virgo: “Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

Libra:  "Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary." 

Scorpio: “Everything in moderation, including moderation.”

Sagittarius: “I can resist anything, except temptation.”

Capricorn: "Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.”

Aquarius: ”To define is to limit”

Pisces: “The secret to remaining young is to never have an emotion that is unbecoming”

November again. It’s more winter than autumn…The trees are revealing their structures. There’s the catch of fire in the air. All the souls are out marauding. But there are roses, there are still roses. In the damp and the cold, on a bush that looks done, there’s a wide-open rose, still. Look at the colour of it.

Is it just me or do other people get homesick from books? Like, you miss the comforting feel of the characters, the fandom, and the world created by the author?

Anyone whose goal is ‘something higher’ must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.

Those nights where you start a book and no matter how hard you try to get yourself to go to sleep, it’s late, but you just can’t put the book down. Those nights are the best. Those nights where you forget that you’re laying in bed reading a book.

we all know that creepy boy, probably a philosophy major, who needs everything to be deep so he can prove he’s smarter than you.

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody - no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds… Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.
