Oscar Wilde quotes but it's actually the Marauders and Severus
'Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes,' Sirius, to much agreement from James.
'I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best,' James about his brooms, his friends, his girlfriend.
'To define is to limit,' Sirius or James - nobody can really remember.
'Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go,' Sirius, about Severus
'There is no sin except stupidity,' Severus about the Marauders.
'Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much,' Remus, to much disagreement from Sirius and James.
'I have nothing to declare except my genius,' Sirius and James - on too many occasions for Peter and Remus to count.
'An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all,' Sirius in response to some polite questioning from Remus about the safety of an idea of James'.
'One should always be in love. That's the reason one should never marry,' Sirius offering advice to a lovestruck James.
'I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world,' James, grinning at Sirius.
'The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it,' Sirius Black, with a look of mock solemnity.
'I can resist everything except temptation,' James Potter, equally dignified, in agreement.
'Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit,' Severus, reading this list.
---
'In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it,' Peter on wanting to once get the better of his friends. 
'They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too,' Remus Lupin, on three occasions: when he was about five, twenty one and thirty six.
'I don't want to go to heaven. None of my friends are there,' Remus Lupin.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.
