More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
Two men look out a window. One sees mud, the other sees the stars.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
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
The study of law is sublime, and its practice vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
Private information is practically the source of every large modern fortune.
Oscar Wilde
Art, like Nature, has her monsters, things of bestial shape and with hideous voices.
Oscar Wilde
No theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
Oscar Wilde
One should always be in love.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
The final mystery is oneself... Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
Because sometimes you have to do something bad to do something good.
Oscar Wilde
