More quotes by Oscar Wilde
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much
Oscar Wilde
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
Oscar Wilde
I was wrong. God's law is only Love.
Oscar Wilde
A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.
Oscar Wilde
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
It is only fair to state, with regard to modern journalists, that they always apologize to one in private for what they have written against one in public.
Oscar Wilde
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
We spend our days, each one of us, in looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in Art.
Oscar Wilde
The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.
Oscar Wilde
Yes poor Bunbury is a dreadful invalid. Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shillyshallying with the question is absurd.
Oscar Wilde
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
Artists, like the Greek gods, are only revealed to one another.
Oscar Wilde
Alone, and without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.
Oscar Wilde
It would leave no room for developments and I intend to develop in many directions.
Oscar Wilde
Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
Nature, which makes nothing durable, always repeats itself so that nothing which it makes may be lost.
Oscar Wilde
You might see nothing in him. I see everything in him.
Oscar Wilde
Though of all poses a moral pose is the most offensive, still to have a pose at all is something.
Oscar Wilde
