More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I wonder that no criminal has ever pleaded the ugliness of your city as an excuse for his crimes.
Oscar Wilde
The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.
Oscar Wilde
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde
The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar Wilde
How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?
Oscar Wilde
I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.
Oscar Wilde
I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde
I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.
Oscar Wilde
A beggar hates his benefactor as much as he hates himself for begging.
Oscar Wilde
Music is the perfect type of art.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance
Oscar Wilde
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. We all have clouds above us but some see their silver linings. We all face difficulties but some of us are grateful that they aren't worse.
Oscar Wilde
The quivering, ardent sunlight showed him the lines of cruelty round the mouth as clearly as if he had been looking into a mirror after he had done some dreadful thing.
Oscar Wilde
The one charm of the past is that it is the past.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
He wanted to be where no one would know who he was. He wanted to escape from himself.
Oscar Wilde
The birds did not understand a single word of what he was saying, but that made no matter, for they put their heads on one side, and looked wise, which is quite as good as understanding a thing, and very much easier.
Oscar Wilde
