More quotes by Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?

Oscar Wilde
You shut out from your society the gentle and the good. You laugh at the simple and the pure. living, as you all do, on other and by them, you need at self-sacrifice, and if you throw bread to the poor, it is merely to keep them quiet for a season.
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
Oscar Wilde
Those who have much are often greedy. Those who have little always share.
Oscar Wilde
Authority is quite degrading.
Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar Wilde
He who stands most remote from his age is he who mirrors it best.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
The story of mankind began in a garden and ended in revelations.
Oscar Wilde
