More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
Oscar Wilde
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. ...Art is the most intense mode of Individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of Individualism that the world has known. ...Art is Individualism.
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
Oscar Wilde
Aestheticism is a search after the signs of the beautiful. It is the science of the beautiful through which men seek the correlation of the arts. It is, to speak more exactly, the search after the secret of life.
Oscar Wilde
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
Books are never finished, They are merely abandoned.
Oscar Wilde
Learn to differentiate between ignorance and stupidity.
Oscar Wilde
JACK Your duty as a gentleman calls you back. ALGERNON My duty as a gentleman has never interfered with my pleasures in the smallest degree.
Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde
No gentleman ever has any money.
Oscar Wilde
The Americans are certainly hero-worshipers, and always take their heroes from the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
