More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Ah, on what little things does happiness depend.
Oscar Wilde
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb.
Oscar Wilde
I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not.
Oscar Wilde
I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram.
Oscar Wilde
It is the stupid and the ugly who have the best of it in this world
Oscar Wilde
Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
Oscar Wilde
Sometimes it takes courage to give into temptation.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
I must decline your invitation owing to a subsequent engagement.
Oscar Wilde
Love is a misunderstanding between two fools.
Oscar Wilde
It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
Oscar Wilde
We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.
Oscar Wilde
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
Oscar Wilde
memory, like a horrible malady, was eating his soul away
Oscar Wilde
I do not approve of anything which tampers with natural ignorance
Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde
