More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.
Oscar Wilde
I wonder that no criminal has ever pleaded the ugliness of your city as an excuse for his crimes.
Oscar Wilde
To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up.
Oscar Wilde
On the whole, the great success of marriage in the States is due partly to the fact that no American man is ever idle, and partly to the fact that no American wife is considered responsible for the quality of her husband's dinners.
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
I don't mind plain women being puritans. It is the only excuse they have for being plain.
Oscar Wilde
The English public always feels perfectly at ease when a mediocrity is talking to it.
Oscar Wilde
