More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.
Oscar Wilde
Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
Oscar Wilde
When I think of all the harm [the Bible] has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it.
Oscar Wilde
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a fat missionary.
Oscar Wilde
A process which makes one rogue cleverer than another.
Oscar Wilde
Full frontal nudity is reserved for Adam and Eve!
Oscar Wilde
One has a right to judge a man by the effect he has over his friends.
Oscar Wilde
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.
Oscar Wilde
Children begin by loving their parents after a time they judge them rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself, because others are already taken.
Oscar Wilde
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
Oscar Wilde
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Oscar Wilde
If it took Labouchere three columns to prove that I was forgotten, then there is no difference between fame and obscurity.
Oscar Wilde
Millionaire models are rare enough but model millionaires are rarer still!
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
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
We live in the age of the overworked and the undereducated.
Oscar Wilde
It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.
Oscar Wilde
