    1.My favorite quote from Oscar Wilde is: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

    2.The reason this quote sticks with me is that it carries a powerful and timeless message about authenticity. In a world where people often feel pressured to conform to social norms, imitate others, or pretend to be someone they’re not, Wilde’s words remind us that our uniqueness is our greatest strength. Trying to be like others not only robs us of our own identity but also ignores the fact that no one can replicate who we truly are. This quote is simple yet profound—it encourages me to embrace my flaws, passions, and individuality, instead of chasing an unattainable “perfect” version of someone else.

    My favorite quote is " We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

    I think this quote contains tremendous energy.Undoubtedly, everyone will have tough times, just like being in the gutter.This quote says some people still "look at the stars" even in hard times. The "stars" stand for dreams, hope and good things. This shows me that no matter how hard life is, we can choose to stay positive and keep chasing our goals.I hope I can keep this in mind and face the difficulties in life with this attitude, never giving up.

    The quote “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance‌.”wins my heart.

    The reason why I choose this quote is it puts emphasis on ourselves. It calls on us to attach importance to our own development,both internal and external aspects.As far as I am concerned,only when one knows how to love oneself can one have the ability to love others.

    One of Wilde's favorite quotes that I particularly like is "Don't be discouraged, even if you lose everything, tomorrow will still be in your hands." This reminds me that even if I fail thousands of times, as long as I don't give up, there is still a chance for success.

    1.My favorite quote by Oscar Wilde is:
    “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”

    2.This stays with me because it's a piercingly concise critique of a passive life. It draws a sharp distinction between merely functioning—going through routines, meeting expectations, and surviving—and truly living: engaging deeply, feeling passionately, seeking beauty, and embracing experience with courage and curiosity. In an age of distraction and routine, Wilde’s words serve as a timeless reminder to actively shape a life rich in purpose and awareness, not just endurance. He asked whether I am truly living or simply existing.

    My favorite quote by Oscar Wilde is "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people merely exist, that's all." He precisely pointed out that most people merely breathe and exist passively, following the rules imposed on them by society, rather than truly living for themselves. Life is passionate; it requires experiencing, feeling, and being hurt. One should respect what their soul truly desires and actively pursue the love for life as an individual.

    Quote: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

    It balances the reality with the possibility of idealism, capturing the duality of human existence,including hardship and hope.It applies to various contexts , reminding people that even in adversity, one can choose to hold onto beauty or ambition.

    My favorite quote from Oscar Wilde is "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" from his 1892 play Lady Windermere's Fan . It is deeply memorable for its sharp contrast between harsh reality and lofty ideals, and its timeless power to resonate across eras.

    e.g. 1. To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. 爱自己是终身浪漫的开始。

    2.We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. 我们都生活在阴沟里,但仍有人仰望星空。

    3.What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.  看似痛苦的试炼的往往是伪装的祝福。

    4.Be yourself ;everyone else is already taken. 做你自己,因为别人都有人做了。

    My favourite sentence is "To love yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."Love yourself is the foudation for achieving mental freedom and it can enable you to accept your limitations and mistakes to  embrace better life.

    "The truth is rarely pure and never simple".

    It's short,but it reveals a big thing.we must learn to the complexity of the truth and look beneath the surface.

    "I don't want to earn my living; I want to live." 

    The core meaning of this quote lies in opposing a survival-oriented life and advocating a life with spiritual value, which perfectly reflects Oscar Wilde’s aestheticist philosophy.Wilde criticizes the societal tendency to equate "making money" with "living well," reminding people not to be trapped in trivial survival and lose sight of the true essence of life. It encourages individuals to prioritize inner desires and spiritual pursuits over material gains, advocating for a life that is vivid, intentional, and authentic.

    What I remember most is the famous quote "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."Loving yourself is not selfishness; it is the starting point of a lifelong romance. In a world where people try to please the outside world, only by knowing how to pamper yourself can you encounter true happiness. It is not a momentary impulse but a habit deeply ingrained in your bones; it is not a capital for external show-off but a force for inner growth.
