More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Biography lends to death a new terror.
Oscar Wilde
Wisdom comes with winters
Oscar Wilde
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
His style is chaos illumined by flashes of lightning. As a writer he has mastered everything except language.
Oscar Wilde
There is only good art and mediocre art.
Oscar Wilde
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.
Oscar Wilde
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience.
Oscar Wilde
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
Pray don't talk to me about the weather, Mr. Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me quite nervous.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
Women have become so highly educated... that nothing should surprise us nowadays, except happy marriages.
Oscar Wilde
I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.
Oscar Wilde
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
Oscar Wilde
