Oscar Wilde

Now art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .

Oscar Wilde
Image
The camera, you know, will never capture you. Photography, in my experience, has the miraculous power of transferring wine into water.
Oscar Wilde
Image
But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Sometimes it takes courage to give into temptation.
Oscar Wilde

The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
Oscar Wilde
Image
In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
