Oscar Wilde
Nowadays, saying what you really think can be a serious error since one risks being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde

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
I was wrong. God's law is only Love.
Oscar Wilde
Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness.
Oscar Wilde
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde
One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.
Oscar Wilde
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde
We Irish will never achieve anything but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks
Oscar Wilde
The only thing worse than being misquoted is being sentenced to two years' hard labour for buggery
Oscar Wilde
