More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
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.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself.
Oscar Wilde
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.
Oscar Wilde
The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.

Oscar Wilde
