Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Nothing worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
There is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage: a marriage in which there is love, but on one side only.
Oscar Wilde
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
Oscar Wilde
Personality must be accepted for what it is. You mustn't mind that a poet is a drunk, rather that drunks are not always poets.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
