More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I am a man of simple pleasures. The best suits me perfectly.
Oscar Wilde
At six o'clock we cleaned our cells, At seven all was still, But the sough and swing of a mighty wing The prison seemed to fill, For the Lord of Death with icy breath Had entered in to kill.
Oscar Wilde
Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses - once.
Oscar Wilde
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
Oscar Wilde
Where your life leads you, you must go
Oscar Wilde
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit touch it and the bloom is gone.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes.
Oscar Wilde
Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.
Oscar Wilde
A process which makes one rogue cleverer than another.
Oscar Wilde
Better the rule of One, whom all obey, than to let clamorous demagogues betray our freedom with the kiss of anarchy.
Oscar Wilde
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing.
Oscar Wilde
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
Foxhunting... the unspeakable pursuing the inedible.
Oscar Wilde
I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
Oscar Wilde
No theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself
Oscar Wilde
