@philosophyhere: Oscar Wilde, spoken by Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). What it means A paradox: love, not its absence, is what ruins happiness. Without emotional investment there's nothing to lose - no jealousy, no vulnerability, no disappointment. Wilde's cynical jab at Victorian marriage, where unions built on convention rather than passion often looked "happier" than romantic ones. Oscar Wilde Irish writer and playwright (1854-1900), known for aphoristic wit, aestheticism, and works like The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest. Convicted and imprisoned in 1895 for "gross indecency" due to his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas - a scandal that destroyed his career and health. Died in Paris at 46.

En 1895, en Algérie (notamment à Blidah), Oscar Wilde a encouragé André Gide à assumer son homosexualité et son attirance pour les jeunes garçons. Cette rencontre a marqué un tournant décisif dans la vie et l'œuvre de Gide, qu'il a raconté plus tard dans son autobiographie Si le grain ne meurt.
