Quote by Oscar Wilde

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him

Summary

This quote suggests that a woman's attempt to reform a man is futile and can only be achieved by making him so uninterested in life that he gives up any desire for personal growth or change. It highlights the notion that true transformation and self-improvement must come from within, and not through external influence or manipulation. It carries a skeptical tone, implying that trying to change someone in this manner is both unsuccessful and undesirable.

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

When I was in college, I used to write little ditties and short stories and poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans.

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groa

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groan, of human beings so tied together by common needs and fears that a twitch at one wrist jerks another, where however strange your experience other people have had it too, where however far you travel in your own mind someone has been there before you - - is all an illusion. We do not know our own souls, let alone the souls of others. Human beings do not go hand in hand the whole stretch of the way. There is a virgin forest in each; a snowfield where even the print of birds' feet is unknown. Here we go alone, and like it better so. Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable.
