Oscar Wilde
I could never quite accustom myself to absinthe, but it suits my style so well
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Prism! Where is that baby?
Oscar Wilde
The evolution of man is slow. The injustice of men is great.
Oscar Wilde
Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
The only possible form of exercise is to talk, not to walk.
Oscar Wilde
ever since I met you I have admired you more than any girl...I have ever met since...I met you.
Oscar Wilde
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away.
Oscar Wilde
