More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
Oscar Wilde
If a woman wants to hold a man she has merely to appeal to what is worst in him.
Oscar Wilde
It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.
Oscar Wilde
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.
Oscar Wilde
And, by the way, one of the most delightful things I find in America is meeting a people without prejudice -- everywhere open to the truth.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.
Oscar Wilde
Poets know how useful passion is for publication. Nowadays a broken heart will run to many editions.
Oscar Wilde
The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world.
Oscar Wilde
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
I love the French language... it's a delightful language, especially to curse with. It's like whopping your ass with silk.
Oscar Wilde
Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .
Oscar Wilde
