More quotes by Oscar Wilde
In a temple everything should be serious except the thing that is being worshiped.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that the artist cannot see is the obvious. The only thing that the public can see is the obvious.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
Like two doomed ships that pass in storm we had crossed each other's way: but we made no sign, we said no word, we had no word to say.
Oscar Wilde
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
Sphinxes without secrets.
Oscar Wilde
The beautiful, passionate, ruined South, the land of magnolias and music, of roses and romance . . . living on the memory of crushing defeats
Oscar Wilde
Sometimes it takes courage to give into temptation.
Oscar Wilde
I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else.
Oscar Wilde
Tread Lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.
Oscar Wilde
I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.
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
I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me.
Oscar Wilde
The one charm of the past is that it is the past.
Oscar Wilde
Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
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
The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
Oscar Wilde
