More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
He hadn’t a single redeeming vice.
Oscar Wilde
The Americans are certainly hero-worshipers, and always take their heroes from the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
Art is rarely intelligible to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only faith, but on one side only devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.
Oscar Wilde
My dear young lady, there was a great deal of truth I dare say, in what you said, and you looked very pretty while you said it, which is much more important.
Oscar Wilde
All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and it degrades those over whom it is exercised.
Oscar Wilde
Charity creates a multitude of sins.
Oscar Wilde
I must decline your invitation owing to a subsequent engagement.
Oscar Wilde
With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stockbroker, can gain a reputation for being civilized
Oscar Wilde
Sin is the only real colour element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Nobody ever does.
Oscar Wilde
When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.
Oscar Wilde
She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.
Oscar Wilde
Really, this horrid House of Commons quite ruins our husbands for us. I think the Lower House by far the greatest blow to a happy married life that there has been since that terrible thing called the Higher Education of Women was invented.
Oscar Wilde
The camera, you know, will never capture you. Photography, in my experience, has the miraculous power of transferring wine into water.
Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
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
