More quotes by Oscar Wilde
George Moore leads his readers to the latrine and locks them in.
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
I put my talent in my work, I save my Genius for my life.
Oscar Wilde
We have been able to have fine poetry in England because the public do not read it, and consequently do not influence it. The public like to insult poets because they are individual, but once they have insulted them, they leave them alone.
Oscar Wilde
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Its a beautiful woman's fate to be the subject of conversation where ever she goes
Oscar Wilde
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching.
Oscar Wilde
Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
Oscar Wilde
Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everybody in good society holds exactly the same opinions.
Oscar Wilde
I never read a book I must review it prejudices you so.
Oscar Wilde
Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly
Oscar Wilde
The beautiful, passionate, ruined South, the land of magnolias and music, of roses and romance . . . living on the memory of crushing defeats
Oscar Wilde
Musical people always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be perfectly deaf.
Oscar Wilde
To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
Hatred is blind, as well as love.
Oscar Wilde
Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde
When good Americans die, they go to Paris Where do bad Americans go? They stay in America
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
