America is the noisiest country that ever existed. One is waked up in the morning, not by the singing of the nightingale, but by the steam whistle.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die.
Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Musical people always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be perfectly deaf.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
Image
Why is it that at a bachelor's establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We spend our days, each one of us, in looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in Art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is absurd to say that there are neither ruins nor curiosities in America when they have their mothers and their manners.
