More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde
Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
Oscar Wilde
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
Oscar Wilde
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Oscar Wilde
Reported as Oscar Wilde's last words on his death bed... This wallpaper is killing me. One of us has to go.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Oscar Wilde
What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.
Oscar Wilde
Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The one charm of the past is that it is the past.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
There was so much in you that charmed me that I felt I must tell you something about yourself. I thought how tragic it would be if you were wasted.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
A grapefruit is just a lemon that saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
The world is made by the singer for the dreamer.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.
Oscar Wilde
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde
The gods bestowed on Max [Beerbohm] the gift of perpetual old age.
Oscar Wilde
