The mimicry of passion is the most intolerable of all poses.

Oscar Wilde
About This Quote

This quote by Oscar Wilde is a warning that you should never go to bed with the partner that you idolize. When we fall in love with someone, we expect them to express all of our emotions and thoughts as well as their own. However, this rarely happens. The worst part is that they might not even know what you are saying or thinking.

No matter how close you are to someone, they will always have secrets. This quote is saying that one cannot live through another person's life and it's best to be careful who you fall in love with.
