When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them.

I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.

I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects.

It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.

I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.

Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event. Happy Birthday, Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde

I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.

I get the best gifts from my friends.
