More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only proper intoxication is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.
Oscar Wilde
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.
Oscar Wilde
As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognize the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
Believe me, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is.
Oscar Wilde
I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.
Oscar Wilde
And all, but Lust, is turned to dust In Humanity's machine.
Oscar Wilde
When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale. A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.
Oscar Wilde
A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.
Oscar Wilde
I have been right, Basil, haven’t I, to take my love out of poetry, and to find my wife in Shakespeare’s plays? Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
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
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Oscar Wilde
The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.
Oscar Wilde
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
Oscar Wilde
Always! That is the dreadful word ... it is a meaningless word, too.
Oscar Wilde
