More quotes by Oscar Wilde
One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.
Oscar Wilde
I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde
Personality must be accepted for what it is. You mustn't mind that a poet is a drunk, rather that drunks are not always poets.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is the only real colour element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.
Oscar Wilde
God grant me the serenity to accept that people are ignorant, the courage to uphold the law when I'm hostile, & the wisdom to realize that murder is illegal.
Oscar Wilde
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
Every impulse we strangle will only poison us.
Oscar Wilde
Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.
Oscar Wilde
Only mediocrities progress. An artist revolves in a cycle of masterpieces, the first of which is no less perfect than the last.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.
Oscar Wilde
If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.
Oscar Wilde
The American father is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher.
Oscar Wilde
She had a passion for secrecy, but she herself was merely a Sphinx without a secret.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.
Oscar Wilde
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
