Friday's quote II

With Valentine's day still floating in the air, I was looking for a romatic quote and came by this quote by Mr. Oscar Wilde:


"if you are not too long, I will wait here all my life" 
 
 
The picture is from the wonderful Mr. Wonderful (I am addicted to all their designs). I was looking for the exact translation into English of the quote when Mr. Wilde surprised me with this:
 
“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.”
 
Think not of it the misogynist side, which may be quite obvious but go for the "extraordinary". It made me smile. I think this quote may just have backfired on Mr. Wilde's face.
 
Such is Life

I love Mr. Wonderful too, and the moment I saw this quote I wish someone gave it to me :)
