More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.
Oscar Wilde
I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar Wilde
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
Be happy, be happy you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.
Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.

Oscar Wilde
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
Oscar Wilde
Tread Lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.
Oscar Wilde
The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion-these are the two things that govern us.
Oscar Wilde
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde
