More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
Oscar Wilde
Most people are boring and stupid.
Oscar Wilde
When good Americans die, they go to Paris Where do bad Americans go? They stay in America
Oscar Wilde
One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.
Oscar Wilde
His style is chaos illumined by flashes of lightning. As a writer he has mastered everything except language.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
Oscar Wilde
Cecily. This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade. Gwendolen. [Satirically.] I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.
Oscar Wilde
She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.
Oscar Wilde
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Oscar Wilde
He hadn’t a single redeeming vice.
Oscar Wilde
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
Oscar Wilde
An opinion is not necesarily correct just because you're willing to die for it.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
The Americans are certainly hero-worshipers, and always take their heroes from the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
Self-denial is simply a method by which arrests his progress, and self-sacrifice a survival of the mutilation of the savage.
Oscar Wilde
Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.
Oscar Wilde
