The heart was made to be broken
Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s.
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life
A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts
