More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I was wrong. God's law is only Love.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance
Oscar Wilde
You might see nothing in him. I see everything in him.
Oscar Wilde
How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?
Oscar Wilde
To define is to limit.
Oscar Wilde
A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses.
Oscar Wilde
The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing one's clean linen in public.
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.
Oscar Wilde
I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.
Oscar Wilde
It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.
Oscar Wilde
Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism.
Oscar Wilde
Reported as Oscar Wilde's last words on his death bed... This wallpaper is killing me. One of us has to go.
Oscar Wilde
I never saw so many well-dressed, well-fed, business-looking Bohemians in my life.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.
Oscar Wilde
The only proper intoxication is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing I can't resist is temptation.
Oscar Wilde
