The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If a woman wants to hold a man she has merely to appeal to what is worst in him.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Be moderate in all things, including moderation.
Oscar Wilde

Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde

Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
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
Image
We become lovers when we see Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet makes us students. The blood of Duncan is upon our hands, with Timon werage against the world, and when Lear wanders out upon the heath the terror of madness touches us. Ours is the white sinlessness of Desdemona, and ours, also, the sin of Iago.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
Image
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde

Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
