More quotes by Oscar Wilde
However, I think anything is better than high intellectual pressure. That is the most unbecoming thing there is. It makes the noses of the young girls so particularly large.
Oscar Wilde
Genius lasts longer than beauty
Oscar Wilde
It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
I find it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue china.
Oscar Wilde
Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
Oscar Wilde
A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
Even now I cannot help feeling that it is a mistake to think that the passion one feels in creation is ever really shown in the work one creates.
Oscar Wilde
Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art
Oscar Wilde
I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.
Oscar Wilde
It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes.
Oscar Wilde
Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
You are young. No hungry generations tread you down. The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise for which we are later, in the fullness of time and understanding, very grateful for!
Oscar Wilde
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
Bad artists always admire each others work.
Oscar Wilde
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.
Oscar Wilde
Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob.
Oscar Wilde
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
