I always will now. Only once in my life I have forgotten my own mother - that was last night. Oh, if I had remembered her I should not have been so foolish, so wicked. Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan #booksky #quotes #literature

I didn’t say it as a matter of conceit. I said it as a matter of regret. I have been wildly, madly adored. I am sorry I have. It has been an immense nuisance. I should like to be allowed a little time to myself now and then. Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan #booksky #quotes #literature

What you know about him is not his real character. It was an act of folly done in his youth, dishonourable, I admit, shameful, I admit, unworthy of him, I admit, and therefore . . . not his true character. Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband #booksky #quotes #literature

This artwork is an original oil painting on canvas titled "Unwind" by contemporary artist Terri Duan. It was created in 2024.
The piece features a modern figurative style with distinct expressionistic elements, depicting a young woman lounging in a vibrant blue dress while holding a glass of red wine. Her serene expression, combined with loose brushwork and a saturated color palette, creates a relaxed, atmospheric mood that captures quiet moments of personal peace.
