More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
Oscar Wilde
Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realized by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good.
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
Men become old, but they never become good.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
Oscar Wilde
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
A book or poem which has no pity in it had better not be written.
Oscar Wilde
The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing at all.
Oscar Wilde
Divorces are made in heaven.
Oscar Wilde
Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
Oscar Wilde
When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale. A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.
Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.
Oscar Wilde
The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.
Oscar Wilde
A grand passion is the privelege of people who have nothing to do.
Oscar Wilde
The youth of the present day are quite monstrous. They have absolutely no respect for dyed hair.
Oscar Wilde
Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs.
Oscar Wilde
I am Irish by race but the English have condemned me to talk the language of Shakespeare.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
