More quotes by Oscar Wilde
you will always love, and you will always be loved
Oscar Wilde
Can they feel, I wonder, those white silent people we call the dead?
Oscar Wilde
Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.
Oscar Wilde
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Indeed, as any one who has ever worked among the poor knows only too well, the brotherhood of man is no mere poet's dream, it is a most depressing and humiliating reality.
Oscar Wilde
LADY STUTFIELD I adore silent men. MRS ALLONBY Oh, Ernest isn't silent. He talks the whole time. But he has got no conversation. What he talks about I don't know. I haven't listened to him for years.
Oscar Wilde
Genius lasts longer than beauty
Oscar Wilde
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
I now see that sorrow, being the supreme emotion of which man is capable, is at once the type and test of all great art.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
Everybody in American seems in a rush to catch a train.
Oscar Wilde
I gave my genius to my life, but my talent to my art.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience.
Oscar Wilde
The one advantage of playing with fire...is that no one ever gets singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.
Oscar Wilde
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
Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: he is constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all you must not strip it of vitality. You must find it in life and re-create it in art.
Oscar Wilde
