The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
Image
She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.

Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy.
Oscar Wilde

The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. You, Mr. Gray, you yourself, with yourrose-red youth and your rose-white boyhood, you have had passions that have made you afraid, thoughts that have filled you with terror, day-dreams and sleeping dreams whose mere memory might stain your cheek with shame.
Oscar Wilde

I'm so smart, I read and understand Hegel
Oscar Wilde
Image
Sometimes it takes courage to give into temptation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I know not whether Laws be right, Or whether Laws be wrong All that we know who be in jail Is that the wall is strong And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
