More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A mutual misunderstanding.
Oscar Wilde
To toil for a hard master is bitter, but to have no master to toil for is more bitter still.
Oscar Wilde
Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
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
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde
To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation.
Oscar Wilde
I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.
Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
Oscar Wilde
I envy you going to Oxford: it is the most flower-like time of one's life. One sees the shadow of things in silver mirrors. Later on, one sees the Gorgon's head, and one suffers, because it does not turn one to stone.
Oscar Wilde
My wish isn't to mean everything to everyone but something to someone.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the one subject on which all women agree and all men disagree.
Oscar Wilde
In England it is enough for a man to try and produce any serious, beautiful work to lose all his rights as a citizen.
Oscar Wilde
Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?
Oscar Wilde
Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. ...Art is the most intense mode of Individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of Individualism that the world has known. ...Art is Individualism.
Oscar Wilde
Any preoccupation with ideas of what is right or wrong in conduct shows an arrested intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
