More quotes by Oscar Wilde
In England it is enough for a man to try and produce any serious, beautiful work to lose all his rights as a citizen.
Oscar Wilde
I am Irish by race but the English have condemned me to talk the language of Shakespeare.
Oscar Wilde
No art ever survived censorship no art ever will.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
Oscar Wilde
Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
Oscar Wilde
Education is very admirable but let us not forget that anything worth knowing cannot be taught.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor.
Oscar Wilde
God, bless me with luxury. Necessities I can do without.
Oscar Wilde
The 19thc hatred of Realism is Caliban's enraged reaction to seeing his own face in the mirror. The 19thc rejection of Romanticism is Caliban's fury at not seeing his face reflected in the mirror.
Oscar Wilde
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
Oscar Wilde
The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.
Oscar Wilde
The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.
Oscar Wilde
I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves.
Oscar Wilde
If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
You are young. No hungry generations tread you down. The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost
Oscar Wilde
If God wished to punish us, all he would need to do would be to answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
The study of law is sublime, and its practice vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, how I vainly wished to the bearded man in the sky that I was Neapolitan. Why? So I could bring in a fine Neapolitan pest control to help with Queensberry's problem before it gets out of hand.
Oscar Wilde
