Quote by Oscar Wilde

Nothing looks so like innocence as an indiscretion.

Nothing looks so like innocence as an indiscretion.

Summary

This quote suggests that an indiscretion, or a mistake or lapse in judgment, can often be mistaken for innocence. In other words, when someone commits a careless or rash act, it may appear as if they were simply ignorant of the potential consequences, rather than purposely engaging in wrongdoing. The quote implies that the appearance of innocence can mask the reality of a person's actions, highlighting the deceptive nature of indiscretions and the perceptions they can create. It hints at the notion that one's intentions and true character may not always be accurately reflected by their actions or mistakes.
