Oscar WildeAnd how delightful other people's emotions were! -much more delightful than their ideas, it seemed to him. One's own soul, and the passions of one's friends-those were the fascinating things in life.
About This Quote
An interesting quote because it goes to show that sometimes I need to enjoy the company of others, because it is more enjoyable than their ideas. When others are having a bad time it is often more relaxing to be around them than to listen to them complain about it. It seems like if they are having a bad time, then their mood is contagious and it makes me not want to leave them. So, I think it is better to stay with them and enjoy their company instead of leaving them alone because I would rather be happy with them than upset.
