More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was probably made for better things.
Oscar Wilde
Before Turner there was no fog in London.
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
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
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.
Oscar Wilde
Art persists, it timelessly continues.
Oscar Wilde
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
Oscar Wilde
A man who takes himself too seriously will find that no one else takes him seriously.
Oscar Wilde
A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
It is personalities not principles that move the age.
Oscar Wilde
Great passions are for the great of soul, and great events can be seen only by those who are on a level with them
Oscar Wilde
The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Oscar Wilde
If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly.
Oscar Wilde
The Roman Catholic Church is for saints and sinners alone - for respectable people, the Anglican Church will do.
Oscar Wilde
He wanted to be where no one would know who he was. He wanted to escape from himself.
Oscar Wilde
It is only fair to state, with regard to modern journalists, that they always apologize to one in private for what they have written against one in public.
Oscar Wilde
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
