Oscar Wilde
The chin a little higher, dear. Style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.
Oscar Wilde
Psychology is in its infancy, as a science. I hope in the interests of Art, it will always remain so.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
Oscar Wilde
The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.
Oscar Wilde
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching.
Oscar Wilde
Everybody in American seems in a rush to catch a train.
Oscar Wilde
To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
Oscar Wilde
I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.
Oscar Wilde
