The thing about "love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling" is that it really doesn't fit marriage proposals because it is actually a sad and very catholic coded tbh sentence about humility and worthiness from someone who was at their lowest and it ressonates with me for the parts I agree but also for the parts that I don't and that make me think of an anxious teen on his knees doing one ot the most important rituals (the Confirmation) for a religion he doesn't really believe and that doesn't really accept or believe in him because he wants to make his mom proud and happy (De Profundis was hard for a lot of reasons but I was not expecting my catholic upbriging to be one of them).
The other thing about "love is a scrament that should be taken kneeling" is that everytime someone points out it's not actually about romance they complete it with "is tots about bjs" and like I can see why better than I can see romance but previous perfomance does not equal future results Wilde can write things that aren't puns nor inuendos (shocker I know). So it's not about blowjobs. But like if you want to use it as so, go wild, have fun. Just don't spread it as if it was intencional.
#i just remember that before even finding a tumblr post about it as a fun fact I jad read De Profundis#and this quote as one of the ones that if the book was mine not from the public library +#i would have marked with shit that ressonates with my religious trauma#and I agree that no one should be forced to love other people that u can't be a dick and expect love that humility matters#but i also don't feel like the whole the only ones worth of love are the ones that think they aren't is good or healthy#but is very very catholic#wilde goes latin and all on this part#de profundis#oscar wilde#i 100% made this post because i found an rqg meme about it but instead of going funny my brain went#hey remember the catholic guilt this part made you feel over thinking you deserve love#i do get where wilde is coming from tho#also just want to make it clear that de profundis is not a catholic nor christian book at all#is not even a book#it just has parts where Wilde dealing with his own thoughs on religion and they are rare but i felt them
