I was on a search for another Oscar Wilde quote when I came across this one. I don't know if it is one of Oscar Wilde's but I liked it so I thought I'd bring it on in for y'all. Quote #2

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

Next time somebody tells me I've made a mistake, I'm gonna tell them that they're wrong, I'm experienced. Quote #2

That quote above is from Oscar Wilde. Here is Quote #3 from Oscar Wilde.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Now, I can think of a couple of ways to interpret this quote. Any opinions? You first, I don't want to be the only one with a vivid imagination. Where's 1day? Quote #2 Quote #2

And I never thought of myself as experienced.

That's a good one, Angel Girl.

I'm gonna remind you of that quote when you're feeling down.

Aaaaaaaaaah, but now we all are 'experienced'. Aren't we? I think it would be a good one to remind me of when I'm down in the abyss.

Now how about quote #3, what's your take on that one? Quote #2

I guess my imagination would take it where it may not have been intended.

I really like this one:

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

It reminds me of how Kasey Kasome (or however you spell his name) used to sign off after the Top 40.

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the stars. (or sky)

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

It impressed and inspired me every time I heard him say it!

Yep, that's what it means to me. No matter how low your get (the gutter) you can still look at the stars (being optimistic). Quote #2

I can't put my own little interpretation cuz it ain't G rated and I can't figure out a way to make it G rated, so you'll have to just use your imaginations. Quote #2
