More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Fantastic shadows of birds
Oscar Wilde
It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Never so sweet a repast as the Reaper's when you tread upon the threshold of a Quiznos.
Oscar Wilde
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
Oscar Wilde
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn't. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.
Oscar Wilde
An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.
Oscar Wilde
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
I have never learned anything except from people younger than myself.
Oscar Wilde
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
Oscar Wilde
A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither
Oscar Wilde
