More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The supreme object of life is to live. Few people live. It is true life only to realize one's own perfection, to make one's every dream a reality.
Oscar Wilde
An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.
Oscar Wilde
But we never get back our youth… The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
Oscar Wilde
Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
Oscar Wilde
I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.
Oscar Wilde
Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
Oscar Wilde
Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Live the wonderful life that is in you.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. ...Art is the most intense mode of Individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of Individualism that the world has known. ...Art is Individualism.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Sphinxes without secrets.
Oscar Wilde
The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
Oscar Wilde
Psychology is in its infancy, as a science. I hope in the interests of Art, it will always remain so.
Oscar Wilde
I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Nobody ever does.
Oscar Wilde
Every American bride is taken there [Niagara Falls], and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.
Oscar Wilde
Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly
Oscar Wilde
It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection Through Art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.
Oscar Wilde
