And, though I was a soul in pain,

My pain I could not feel.

Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol.

“There are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely– or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.”

-Lady Windermere’s Fan by Oscar Wilde (1892)

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
