The Signs as Oscar Wilde Epigrams

  • Aries: Either this wallpaper goes or I do.
  • Taurus: I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
  • Gemini: To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.
  • Cancer: It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
  • Leo: Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.
  • Virgo: Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.
  • Libra: In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity is the vital thing.
  • Scorpio: The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
  • Sagittarius: When people agree with me, I always feel that I must be wrong.
  • Capricorn: Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
  • Aquarius: I can resist everything except temptation.
  • Pisces: A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

A bouquet of clumsy words:

You know that place between sleep and awake where you’re still dreaming, but it’s slowly slipping? I wish we could feel like that more often.

I also wish I could click my fingers three times and be transported to anywhere I like.

I wish that people didn’t always say “just wondering” when you both know there was a real reason behind them asking.

And I wish I could get lost in the stars.
Listen, there’s a hell of a universe out there. Let’s go.
