~ Oscar Wilde
I've been careless, damnit.

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
– Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890)
I find this so profound & am unable to say why it appeals to me so much. Maybe it's that I love the world in all its quotidian glory, & don't need supernatural or spiritual explanations to be awed by everything around me.
