More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Oscar Wilde
However, I think anything is better than high intellectual pressure. That is the most unbecoming thing there is. It makes the noses of the young girls so particularly large.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.
Oscar Wilde
If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity.
Oscar Wilde
It is personalities not principles that move the age.
Oscar Wilde
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde
I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
Oscar Wilde
I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram.
Oscar Wilde
A burnt child loves the fire.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity. Not with Women, said the duchess, shaking her head and women rule the world. I assure you we can't bear mediocrities. We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all. It seems to me that we never do anything else, murmered Dorian.
Oscar Wilde
I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous.
Oscar Wilde
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed.
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
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.
Oscar Wilde
As one reads history ... one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted.
Oscar Wilde
