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
Image
The sin was mine I did not understand. So now is music prisoned in her cave, Save where some ebbing desultory wave Frets with its restless whirls this meagre strand.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.
Oscar Wilde

Youth is the only thing worth having.
Oscar Wilde

I can't stand people that do not take food seriously.
Oscar Wilde

Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If only the picture could grow old, and I stay young. For that...for that, I would give my SOUL for that.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Greek dress was in its essence inartistic. Nothing should reveal the body but the body.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Cecily. This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade. Gwendolen. [Satirically.] I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.
Oscar Wilde

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
