More quotes by Oscar Wilde
In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.
Oscar Wilde
I beg your pardon I didn't recognise you - I've changed a lot.
Oscar Wilde
Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
Oscar Wilde
Nature, which makes nothing durable, always repeats itself so that nothing which it makes may be lost.
Oscar Wilde
The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.
Oscar Wilde
The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.
Oscar Wilde
Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was probably made for better things.
Oscar Wilde
Mr. Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty.
Oscar Wilde
But what of life whose bitter hungry sea Flows at our heels, and gloom of sunless night Covers the days which never more return? Ambition, love and all the thoughts that burn We lose too soon, and only find delight In withered husks of some dead memory.
Oscar Wilde
If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.
Oscar Wilde
Charity creates a multitude of sins.
Oscar Wilde
The only possible form of exercise is to talk, not to walk.
Oscar Wilde
Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
Oscar Wilde
In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
