More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
Oscar Wilde
He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything.
Oscar Wilde
I find it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue china.
Oscar Wilde
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar Wilde
To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
Taking sides is the beginning of sincerity, and earnestness follows shortly afterwards, and the human being becomes a bore.
Oscar Wilde
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.
Oscar Wilde
I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.
Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
He rides in the row at ten o clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?
Oscar Wilde
I analyzed you, though you did not adore me.
Oscar Wilde
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
