Oscar Wilde
Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better.
Oscar Wilde
She is a peacock in everything but beauty!
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.

The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
Oscar Wilde
When I had to fill in my immigration papers, I gave my age as 19, and my profession as genius I added that I had nothing to declare except my talent.
Oscar Wilde
