"Love is a misunderstanding between two fools." -- Oscar Wilde

"The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.? -- Ambrose Bierce

still misunderstand love?

PeeMarc>> Perhaps

"Love is a misunderstanding between two fools." -----> What to say about those who're desperately looking for Mr. or Ms. Right?

oscar wilde was a perverted gay. I wouldnt take anything he said about Love as anything other than cynical observations

if u want to understand love, the first thing to do is learn to turn the heart to look outwards,.. learn Empathy. Love is never selfish.

PeeMarc>> here and now, i dont care whether Oscar would be a preverted gay or smart guy.... i just read only what he said.... yes, what he said comes from his perspective (based on his exp.)...

"Love is a misunderstanding between two fools."

i might be wrong... but i make it simple.... if those 2 people are NOT foolish... love is understandable

thaibel>> i'm not sure

a fair interpretation.

PeeMarc>> : )

imperfectionist >> i dont think so : p

This is so funny.

Why do bf/gf discuss love with each other on this site full of weirdos and perverts who make Oscar Wilde look like a choir boy?

more like a consolation quote from those who never find love.

Oscar had more than a few problems over the subject of love. Lets not take his words too seriously.

would that love were as witty as Oscar Wilde

I assume that this is like two people meeting in a crowded restaurant to have a very private conversation. The public atmosphere helps to keep both parties language and behavior civil and respectable. In this case, it also could invite feedback and perspective from others.

Nothing wrong with this, and it seems to have the potential for either closure or reconciliation....

I have enjoyed postings in the past from both PeeMarc and AAA on a variety of topics. I think that both are thoughtful and have contributed much to this site.

ha ha! thank you everyone...

kind of therapy... TF therapy i guess...

good point, friendlyCat.... you guys are invited to join and discuss... enjoy : )

Please could you discuss the details of your sex life, embarrassing toiletry idiosyncrasies and each upload a picture of your partner in an unflattering, uncompromising position?!

Yours in anticipation

Hmmm, though Wilde was more often than not a thoroughly pathetic cynic, on occasion Wilde got it supremely right:

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

"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead."

"Who, being loved, is poor?"

==

(* well, in my case, I definitely want to be a certain devil's last romance...)

Nathann >>> errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... ok, we will discuss in another session... sometimes i need to find info : p

JBJE>>> thank for other quotes... for the first quote...

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

i would rather think that men like to be a woman's last romance as well.... time changes, people change...dont you think?
