More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Each of us has heaven and hell in him.
Oscar Wilde
Indeed, as any one who has ever worked among the poor knows only too well, the brotherhood of man is no mere poet's dream, it is a most depressing and humiliating reality.
Oscar Wilde
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat.
Oscar Wilde
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.
Oscar Wilde
Poor? What does that matter? When poverty creeps in at the door, love flies in through the window.
Oscar Wilde
The chin a little higher, dear. Style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present.
Oscar Wilde
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The study of law is sublime, and its practice vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
Reported as Oscar Wilde's last words on his death bed... This wallpaper is killing me. One of us has to go.
Oscar Wilde
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young.
Oscar Wilde
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.
Oscar Wilde
