“It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.” ― Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband

This is not a quote from An Ideal Husband, I've searched the Gutenberg version and I'm sure. Online it says there's no evidence that Oscar Wilde said or wrote it.

From memory I think it may be in the An Ideal Husband (1999) film.

HTH.

Hi Matthew,

you are right, film quotes are not allowed.

Can you please edit your post to add [needs a Super] or similar?

I can't edit quotes with that many likes.
