I like men who have a future and women who have a past.

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

Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired, women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.

A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.

Even men of the noblest possible moral character are extremely susceptible to the influence of the physical charms of others. Modern, no less then Ancient History, supplies us with many most painful examples of what I refer to. If it were not so, indeed, History would be quite unreadable.

The Noblest form of Affection

That is the worst of women. They always want one to be good. And if we are good, when they meet us, they don't love us at all. They like to find us quite irretrievably bad, and to leave us quite unattractively good.

Men always want to be a woman's first love, -women want to be a man's last romance.

I don't like compliments and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.
