More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.
Oscar Wilde
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
Oscar Wilde
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
Every thing to be true must become a religion.
Oscar Wilde
Everybody in American seems in a rush to catch a train.
Oscar Wilde
In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.
Oscar Wilde
Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
Oscar Wilde
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.
Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Oscar Wilde
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
Oscar Wilde
Things are in their essence what we choose to make them. A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it.
Oscar Wilde
I am not at all cynical, I have merely got experience, which, however, is very much the same thing.
Oscar Wilde
It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
Oscar Wilde
George Moore wrote brilliant English until he discovered grammar.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing.
Oscar Wilde
The sin was mine I did not understand. So now is music prisoned in her cave, Save where some ebbing desultory wave Frets with its restless whirls this meagre strand.
Oscar Wilde
The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.
Oscar Wilde
Aestheticism is a search after the signs of the beautiful. It is the science of the beautiful through which men seek the correlation of the arts. It is, to speak more exactly, the search after the secret of life.
Oscar Wilde
And, by the way, one of the most delightful things I find in America is meeting a people without prejudice -- everywhere open to the truth.
Oscar Wilde
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
