More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.
Oscar Wilde
The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.
Oscar Wilde
The English public always feels perfectly at ease when a mediocrity is talking to it.
Oscar Wilde
Alone, and without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.
Oscar Wilde
Art should never be popular.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar Wilde
In all unimportant matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential. In all important matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential.
Oscar Wilde
It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. You, Mr. Gray, you yourself, with yourrose-red youth and your rose-white boyhood, you have had passions that have made you afraid, thoughts that have filled you with terror, day-dreams and sleeping dreams whose mere memory might stain your cheek with shame.
Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
Oscar Wilde
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.
Oscar Wilde
I put my talent in my work, I save my Genius for my life.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
It takes a thoroughly good woman to do a thoroughly stupid thing
Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
So lets knock a couple back and make some noise
Oscar Wilde
