Oscar Wilde

I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees in the garden of the world… And so, indeed, I went out, and so I lived. My only mistake was that I confined myself so exclusively to the trees of what seemed to me the sun-lit side of the garden, and shunned the other side for its shadow and its gloom.

Oscar Wilde
Image
Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault. One had to pay over and over again, indeed. In her dealings with man, Destiny never closed her accounts.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Know thyself' was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, 'Be thyself' shall be written.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart—hearts are made to be broken—but that it turns one’s heart to stone.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Love will fly if held too lightly Love will die if held too tightly . . .
