More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
In art, the public accept what has been, because they cannot alter it, not because they appreciate it. They swallow their classics whole, and never taste them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The job of the critic is to report to us his moods.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault. One had to pay over and over again, indeed. In her dealings with man, Destiny never closed her accounts.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The truth about the life of a man is not what he does, but the legend which he creates around himself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine Burned like the ruby fire set In the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine, Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate, Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The one charm of the past is that it is the past.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Most people are other people.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A grapefruit is just a lemon that saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Success is a science if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Finding the meaning of life is easy. Simply get a dictionary, go to the 'L' section, and find the word 'life.'
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I had buried my romance in a bed of asphodel.
Oscar Wilde
