More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I expect I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
I must remember that a good friend is a new world.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.
Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde
As I lounged in the Park, or strolled down Piccadilly, I used to look at everyone who passed me, and wonder, with mad curiosity, what sort of lives they led. some of them fascinated me. Others filled me with terror.
Oscar Wilde
