More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A flower blossoms for its own joy.
Oscar Wilde
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
sorrow...is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of love touches it
Oscar Wilde
All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.
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
The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.
Oscar Wilde
She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.
Oscar Wilde
The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.
Oscar Wilde
We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbor with those virtues that are likely to benefit ourselves. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
Oscar Wilde
He wants to enslave you.' 'I shudder at the thought of being free.
Oscar Wilde
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.
Oscar Wilde
A book or poem which has no pity in it had better not be written.
Oscar Wilde
The American father is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher.
Oscar Wilde
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
Then there was a man who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married by then it was too late'
Oscar Wilde
One has a right to judge a man by the effect he has over his friends.
Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
