More quotes by 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
Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
Oscar Wilde
An opinion is not necesarily correct just because you're willing to die for it.
Oscar Wilde
It is not the prisoners who need reformation, it is the prisons.
Oscar Wilde
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
The quivering, ardent sunlight showed him the lines of cruelty round the mouth as clearly as if he had been looking into a mirror after he had done some dreadful thing.
Oscar Wilde
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Oscar Wilde
A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.
Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, don't cough, Ernest. When one is dictating one should speak fluently and not cough. Besides, I don't know how to spell a cough.
Oscar Wilde
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
Oscar Wilde
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
Oscar Wilde
Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.
Oscar Wilde
If people were meant to be nude, they would have been born this way.
Oscar Wilde
I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.
Oscar Wilde
Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
Oscar Wilde
To define is to limit.
Oscar Wilde
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
Art only begins where Imitation ends.
Oscar Wilde
