Irish poet and playwright
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
I have nothing to declare except my genius.
There's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It's a thing no married man knows anything about.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
