More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Cultivated leisure is the aim of man.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, no doubt the cod is a splendid swimmer - admirable for swimming purposes but not for eating.
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
To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.
Oscar Wilde
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.
Oscar Wilde
When I had to fill in my immigration papers, I gave my age as 19, and my profession as genius I added that I had nothing to declare except my talent.
Oscar Wilde
Men become old, but they never become good.
Oscar Wilde
You know I have loved him always. But we are very poor. Who, being loved, is poor? Oh, no one. I hate my riches. They are a burden.
Oscar Wilde
You might see nothing in him. I see everything in him.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.
Oscar Wilde
He hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his friend like him.
Oscar Wilde
She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.
Oscar Wilde
America is one long expectoration.
Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
Good heavens, I suppose a man may eat his own muffins in his own garden. But you have just said it was perfectly heartless to eat muffins! I said it was perfectly heartless of YOU under the circumstances. That is a very different thing. That may be, but the muffins are the same!
Oscar Wilde
I wrote when I did not know life now that I do know the meaning of life, I have no more to write. Life cannot be written life can only be lived.
Oscar Wilde
Im Krieg machen die Starken die Schwachen zu Sklaven, im Frieden machen die Reichen die Armen zu Sklaven.
Oscar Wilde
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
