More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.
Oscar Wilde
Lord Darlington (LD): I think life too complex a thing to be settled by these hard and fast rules. Lady Windemere (LW): If we had 'hard-and-fast rules' we would find life much simpler. LD: You allow of no exceptions? LW: None! LD: Ah, what a fascinating Puritan you are, LW. LW: The adjective was unnecessary, LD.
Oscar Wilde
It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.
Oscar Wilde
It is personalities not principles that move the age.
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity. Not with Women, said the duchess, shaking her head and women rule the world. I assure you we can't bear mediocrities. We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all. It seems to me that we never do anything else, murmered Dorian.
Oscar Wilde
Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism.
Oscar Wilde
A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.
Oscar Wilde
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
Oscar Wilde
They are always asking a writer why he does not write like somebody else, or a painter why he does not paint like somebody else, quite oblivious of the fact that if either of them did anything of the kind he would cease to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
Early in life she had discovered the important truth that nothing looks so like innocence as an indiscretion and by a series of reckless escapades, half of them quite harmless, she had acquired all the privileges of a personality.
Oscar Wilde
More than half of modern culture depends upon what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
Why is it that at a bachelor's establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne.
Oscar Wilde
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
Prism! Where is that baby?
Oscar Wilde
They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance
Oscar Wilde
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it
Oscar Wilde
I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who would call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. We all have clouds above us but some see their silver linings. We all face difficulties but some of us are grateful that they aren't worse.
Oscar Wilde
