More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is what we fear that happens to us.
Oscar Wilde
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde
The only beautiful things are the things that do not concern us.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
Like strange mechanical grotesques, Making fantastic arabesques, The shadows raced across the blind.
Oscar Wilde
Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.
Oscar Wilde
All the spring may be hidden in the single bud, and the low ground nest of the lark may hold the joy that is to herald the feet of many rose-red dawns.
Oscar Wilde
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
Oscar Wilde
There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
Oscar Wilde
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
Cecily. This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade. Gwendolen. [Satirically.] I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.
Oscar Wilde
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
The birds did not understand a single word of what he was saying, but that made no matter, for they put their heads on one side, and looked wise, which is quite as good as understanding a thing, and very much easier.
Oscar Wilde
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
Oscar Wilde
Women have become so highly educated... that nothing should surprise us nowadays, except happy marriages.
Oscar Wilde
If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat.
Oscar Wilde
