More quotes by Oscar Wilde
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
Oscar Wilde
Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance
Oscar Wilde
I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage.
Oscar Wilde
It takes a thoroughly good woman to do a thoroughly stupid thing
Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
Oscar Wilde
