More quotes by Oscar Wilde
As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.
Oscar Wilde
I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.
Oscar Wilde
Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy.
Oscar Wilde
I am very glad I have travelled. Travel improves the mind wonderfully, and does away with all one's prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
Oscar Wilde
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
Oscar Wilde
I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
One has a right to judge a man by the effect he has over his friends.
Oscar Wilde
Artists, like the Greek gods, are only revealed to one another.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is wonderful, but the experience is even more wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
Oscar Wilde
The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
