More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
Before Turner there was no fog in London.
Oscar Wilde
It is what we fear that happens to us.
Oscar Wilde
Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, And bound with bars lest Christ should see How men their brothers maim.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Nobody ever does.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
Taking sides is the beginning of sincerity, and earnestness follows shortly afterwards, and the human being becomes a bore.
Oscar Wilde
Just as the orator marks his good things by a dramatic pause, or by raising and lowering his voice, or by gesture, so the writer marks his epigrams with italics, setting the little gem, so to speak, like a jeweler.
Oscar Wilde
What you really are is a Bunburyist. I was quite right in saying you were a Bunburyist. You are one of the most advanced Bunburyists I know.
Oscar Wilde
A burnt child loves the fire.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
I'm so smart, I read and understand Hegel
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Oscar Wilde
