Quote of the day by Oscar Wilde: 'One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry' - A lesson on the paradox of love and marriage by the iconic Irish author-poet

The quote by Oscar Wilde offers a sharp and somewhat ironic take on relationships. It suggests that love thrives on emotion and excitement, while marriage, as a formal institution, may risk making it routine. Drawn from his play A Woman of No Importance, the line reflects Wildes habit of questioning social norms through wit. Even today, it continues to spark discussion about whether commitment strengthens love or quietly changes it.
