More quotes by Oscar Wilde
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly
Oscar Wilde
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
Oscar Wilde
One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.
Oscar Wilde
The chin a little higher, dear. Style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present.
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
In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich makes slaves of the poor.
Oscar Wilde
Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.
Oscar Wilde
If Nature had been comfortable, mankind would never have invented architecture.
Oscar Wilde
There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob all authority is equally bad.
Oscar Wilde
I love the French language... it's a delightful language, especially to curse with. It's like whopping your ass with silk.
Oscar Wilde
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.
Oscar Wilde
The vilest deeds like poison weeds Bloom well in prison air It is only what is good in man That wastes and withers there.
Oscar Wilde
The English country-gentleman galloping after a fox — the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
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
A flower blossoms for its own joy.
Oscar Wilde
