SELECTED QUOTATIONS OF
OSCAR WILDE

 
 
from The Ballad of Reading Gaol



     Yet each man kills the thing he loves, 
     By each 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! 

     For he who lives more lives than one 
     More deaths that one must die.
