If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.
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
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit touch it and the bloom is gone.
Oscar Wilde
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
Oscar Wilde
You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
Oscar Wilde
Life is too short to be in a hurry.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
Oscar Wilde
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Believe me, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is.
Oscar Wilde
You know I have loved him always. But we are very poor. Who, being loved, is poor? Oh, no one. I hate my riches. They are a burden.
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
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
Love will fly if held too lightly Love will die if held too tightly . . .
Oscar Wilde
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
Through our sunless lanes creeps Poverty with her hungry eyes, and Sin with his sodden face follows close behind her. Misery wakes us in the morning and Shame sits with us at night.
Oscar Wilde
