anti-gerningsretfærdige, moralrelativistiske grundtanke som Nietzsche
Han kunne lide smukke unge mænd - at se på, måske også når de bollede
sammen, og han snobbede for aristokrater og dermed sin unge Bosie og den
spirituelle kærlighed de havde sammen, når Bosie gad snakke med ham -

"After the first glance(drink), you see things as you wish they were. After
the second, you see things as they are not.Finally you see things as they
really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world". Oscar Wilde
jødiske kulturhistoriker Egon Friedel skriver om ham at han prækede
"renhedens evangelium, en dybt moralsk bog, gennemstrømmet af en fortærende
længsel efter det gode, som går lastens skarpere på klingen end hundrede
fasteprædikanter, der ikke røber den ringeste forståelse af livet.
"Man skal forblive middelmådig for at være populær Oscar Wilde
Middelmådigheden er ubrugelig. Succes skabes
som regel af udskejelser. Oscar Wilde
"Jeg kan ikke lade være at foragte mine slægtninge, skrev Oscar Wilde, og
det er nok fordi ingen af os kan udholde hos andre mennesker fejl som vi
selv har."
Et verdenskort, der ikke iinkluderer landet UTOPIA er ikke værd at kaste et
blik på, for det udelukker det sted hvor mennesket altid vil søge havn.

"The real fool, such as the gods mock and mar, is the who does not know

To me the life of the businessman, who eats his breakfast early in the
mourning, catches a train to the city, stays there in a dingy, dusty
atmosphere of the commercial world, and goes back to his house in the
evening, and after supper to sleep , is worse than the life of a galley
slave - his chains are golden in stead of iron. Oscar Wilde
Samvigtighed og fejhed er samme sag.samvittighed er varemærket.
Oscar Wilde.
At få øje på noget er ikke det samme som at se det - men ser ikke noget før
man ser dets skønhed.
At elske sig selv er en livslang romance
Det er de uperfekte der har brug for kærlighed

Manners more important than morals
"Bort med hykleriet. Lyssky udsvævelser er ikke noget for mig. Jeg vil nyde
alt i fuldt dagslys" skrev en klog mellemøstlig intellektuel inden at Islam
havde fået gennemført sit forbud mod nytænkning (Abu Nawas 787-814) Han
lovpriste onani.
Oscar Wilde(1855-1900) levede i en tid med en vis lukkethed om sexspørgsmål,
og det fik ham til at påstå "Hvis alle udtrykte deres lyster åbent og frit,
ville verden blive forynget"
Men det var lidet sandsynligt, at det ville ske, idet selv de modigste var
bange for at indrømme, hvordan de virkelig var. Hvis forfølgelse af de
ikke-konforme var reglen, tilrådede Wilde som næstbedste løsning, at folk
skulle opleve tilfredsstillelsen ved at foregive og skjule, spille en
rolle, og gøre nar ad modstandere og kritikere. Det kom han i fængsel
for.(Theodore Zeldin "Det private livs historie. Samtid 1992.
Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality Oscar Wilde
Love and gluttony justify everyting. Oscar Wilde
"Når en filosof siger "det gode og det smukke og det forstandige", er det en
skændsel ; hvis han så tilføjer "Også det sande", burde han piskes.
Sandheden er hæslig. Vi behersker kunsten af frygt for at sandheden
ødelægges." "Det er kun som et æstetisk fænomen, eksistens og verden er
permanent berettiget. "
"Vi har kunsten, for at vi ikke skal gå til grunde ved sandheden
I kærlighed begynderman med at bedrage sig selv, og man ender med at bedrage
andre Det er det verdenkalder "romance". Wilde
Hearts live by being wounded.
Hvis vi lever længe nok til at se resultatet af vore handlinger, så vil dem
som kalder sig selv gode, blive syge af sløv anger, og dem, som verden
kalder onde, vil opflammes af ædel glæde.
Det er absurt at dele folk i gode og onde - folk er enten charmerende eller
kedelige.
Personlighed er noget mystisk, en man kan ikke altid bedømmes ved hvad han
gør. Måske han overholder loven og er dog værdiløs. Måske han bryder loven
og er fremragende. Han begår synder mod samfundet og opnår gennem dette sin
egen fuldkommengørelse.
Ondskab er opfundet af gode mennesker for atforklare andres irriterende
tiltrækningskraft.
Jeg godkender eller misbilliger aldrig noget nyt.Det er en absurd holdning
mod livet. Vi er ikke sendt til verden for at lufte vore moralske fordomme.
Jeg tager mig aldrig af hvad folk siger og jeg blander mig ikke i hvad
charmerende folk gør.
Moral er den holdning vi vælger mod folk vi ikke kan lide.Oscar Wilde
Fængsler bygges med sten af skam og omgives af tremmer, for ikke at Jesus
skal se hvordan vi lemlester vor bror.
De kriminelle klasser er så tæt ved at at politimanden kan se dem, og så
fjernt fra os at kun digteren kan forstå dem
Der er gode grunde til tro , at Wilde i 1886 blev indviet i homosexuel
adfærdaf Robert Ross.
Det var året efter , at den føromtalte lov blev vedtaget, hvis kapitel 11
gjorde "utilbørligt forhold mellem mænd" strafbart.
Selvom det praktiseredes privat. Denne lov føjede således en pikant islæt af
fare til en adfærd , der , uagtet den virkede frastødende på de fleste
mennesker , hidtil ikke var blevet anset for strafbar i England."Det var som
at holde et måltid med pantere," som Wilde skrev i "De Profundis"; "faren
var halvdelen af spændingen". (Montgomery Hyde Sagen mod Oscar Wilde, 1960.)
Det er ikke kunsten der efterligner livet, men livet der efterligner
kunstenOscar Wilde
"---at være fortsat ad den samme bane med det samme liv, ville have været
forkert, fordi det ville have været at begrænse. Jeg måtte videre." skriver
Oscar Wilde i fængslet.,
"Jeg sidder ikke i fængsel som uskyldig dømt. Tværtimod ville en liste over
mine perverse passioner og fordrejede forhold fylde mange slibrige bind".
Oscar Wilde.
"Da jeg var dreng, var mine yndlingsskikkelser Lucien de Rubempre og Julien
Sorel. Lucien hængte sig. Julien døde på skafottet og jeg døde i
fængslet".Oscar Wilde (kort før sin død dvs 2 år efter løsladelse fra
fængslet (år 1900))
"Life held to my lips a full flavoured cup, and I drank it to the dreggs.The
bitter and the sweet. I found the sweet bitter, and the bitter sweet.
..Because I have written all there was to write, I wrote when I did not know
life. Now that I know the meaning of life, I have no more to write.I have
found my soul, I was happy in prison because I found my soul." Oscar Wilde
Jeg har skrevet alt hvad der var at skrive, Jeg skrev dengang jeg ikke
kendte livet, men nu, da jeg kender livets mening, har jeg ikke mere at
skrive.Jeg har fundet min sjæl. Jeg var lykkelig i fængslet, fordi jeg fandt
min sjæl.
"Træt af at være på højderne, kastede jeg mig med viljened i dybderne for at
søge efter nye oplevelser. Hvad paradokset var for mig i tankens sfære, var
perfersiteten for mig i lidenskabens svære." Oscar Wilde

b There is luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no

b When one is in love one begins by deceiving one's self. And one ends by
deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.Oscar Wilde
b Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By eachy let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword Oscar Wilde
bd I grunden misforstår vi altid os selv og forstår sjældent andre;
erfaringen har ingen moralsk værdi, den er bare et navn, vi giver vore
fejltagelser. I reglen betragter vi den kun som en form for advarsel,
tillægger den en vis evne til at uddanne karakteren, lov pris er den som
noget, der siger os, hvad vi bør gøre, og viser os, hvad vi bør undgå.Oscar

Det er let at være et godt menneske i provinsen. Der er ingen fristelser.
Folk udenfor byerne er uciviliserede. Der er civilisation ikke til at opnå.
Der er kun to veje. Enten kan man være kultiveret eller man kan være
korrupt. På landet har folk ikke mulighed for nogen af delene, så de
stagnerer. Wilde

careful in the choice of his enemies. Oscar Wilde

parallels "work is the curse of the drinkinh class," which is attribituted
to Wilde) Oscar Wilde
uf If a woman wants to hold a man, she has merely to appeal to what is worst
in him. We make gods of men, and they leave us. Others make brutes of them
and they fawn and are faithful.Oscar Wilde
uf If England treats her criminals the way she has treated me, she doesn't
deserve to have any.Oscar Wilde
uf In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one

v But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one

Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true

Indeed if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then
he is doing good. Oscar Wilde

friends like him. Oscar Wilde
