More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.
Oscar Wilde
Men become old, but they never become good.
Oscar Wilde
I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart—hearts are made to be broken—but that it turns one’s heart to stone.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
I won't belong to a club that accepts me as a member
Oscar Wilde
Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
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
Private information is practically the source of every large modern fortune.
Oscar Wilde
Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.
Oscar Wilde
Artists reproduce themselves or each other, with wearisome iteration. But criticism is always moving on, and the critic is always developing.
Oscar Wilde
