Oscar Wilde
Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world. What difference is there between a glass of absinthe and a sunset?
Oscar Wilde
The English public always feels perfectly at ease when a mediocrity is talking to it.
Oscar Wilde
As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognize the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.
Oscar Wilde
