Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.

Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics. Just what Society should be.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Two men look out a window. One sees mud, the other sees the stars.

Oscar Wilde
George Moore wrote brilliant English until he discovered grammar.
Oscar Wilde
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
The fatal errors of life are not due to man's being unreasonable: an unreasonable moment may be one's finest moment. They are due to man's being logical.
Oscar Wilde
No gentleman ever has any money.
Oscar Wilde
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
Oscar Wilde
In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich makes slaves of the poor.
Oscar Wilde
Women have become so highly educated... that nothing should surprise us nowadays, except happy marriages.
Oscar Wilde
The world is made by the singer for the dreamer.
Oscar Wilde
