Introduction

"The Nightingale and the Rose" is a beautiful and poignant story written by Oscar Wilde. The story explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the nature of beauty. Here are some of the most memorable quotes from the story.

The Nightingale's Song

"She sang with so much passion and pathos that the dew-drops rose and fell on the grass beneath her." - Oscar Wilde

"But the Nightingale understood the secret of the Student's sorrow, and she sang of the Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb." - Oscar Wilde

"The Nightingale's voice grew fainter, and her little wings began to beat, and a film came over her eyes." - Oscar Wilde

The Red Rose's Sacrifice

"Beauty is a form of genius--is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or spring-time, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it." - Oscar Wilde

"She was like a beautiful flower that blossoms and fades and dies, leaving nothing behind but sweet memories." - Oscar Wilde

"I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty." - Oscar Wilde

The Student's Realization

"What a silly thing Love is," said the Student as he walked away. "It is not half as useful as Logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in this age to be practical is everything, I shall go back to Philosophy and study Metaphysics." - Oscar Wilde

"What I asked for was truth, not a rose. You broke your promise, and the rose is useless." - Oscar Wilde

The Incomprehensible Nature of Love and Beauty

"The mystery of Love is greater than the mystery of Death." - Oscar Wilde

"One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that, would tell one anything." - Oscar Wilde

"The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. That is all." - Oscar Wilde
