More quotes by Oscar Wilde
To be popular I must be mediocre.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity.
Oscar Wilde
The quivering, ardent sunlight showed him the lines of cruelty round the mouth as clearly as if he had been looking into a mirror after he had done some dreadful thing.
Oscar Wilde
Rich bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
Oscar Wilde
America is the noisiest country that ever existed. One is waked up in the morning, not by the singing of the nightingale, but by the steam whistle.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.
Oscar Wilde
God, bless me with luxury. Necessities I can do without.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Oscar Wilde
When people talk to me about the weather, I always feel they mean something else.
Oscar Wilde
Love is a misunderstanding between two fools.
Oscar Wilde
