More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The sky was pure opal now.
Oscar Wilde
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself everyone else is taken.
Oscar Wilde
She behaves as if she was beautiful. Most American women do. It is the secret of their charm.
Oscar Wilde
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.
Oscar Wilde
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world
Oscar Wilde
Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: he is constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all you must not strip it of vitality. You must find it in life and re-create it in art.
Oscar Wilde
Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
Varnishing is the only artistic process with which Royal Academicians are thoroughly familiar.
Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
The Americans are certainly hero-worshipers, and always take their heroes from the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
Oscar Wilde
The best way to appreciate your job is to, is here to stay.
Oscar Wilde
The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.
Oscar Wilde
Be moderate in all things, including moderation.
Oscar Wilde
