Oscar Wilde
Image
If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Art only begins where Imitation ends.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Better the rule of One, whom all obey, than to let clamorous demagogues betray our freedom with the kiss of anarchy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
I am afraid that you have been listening to the conversation of someone older than yourself. That is always a dangerous thing to do, and if you allow it to degenerate into a habit, you will find it absolutely fatal to any intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
Oscar Wilde
