More quotes by Oscar Wilde
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
Alone, and without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.
Oscar Wilde
She had a passion for secrecy, but she herself was merely a Sphinx without a secret.
Oscar Wilde
Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde
I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.
Oscar Wilde
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
I never read a book I must review it prejudices you so.
Oscar Wilde
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing one's clean linen in public.
Oscar Wilde
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
History is merely gossip
Oscar Wilde
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar
Oscar Wilde
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
Oscar Wilde
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
