More quotes by Oscar Wilde
We who live in prison, and in whose lives there is no event but sorrow, have to measure time by throbs of pain, and the record of bitter moments.
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
In fact, I am never wrong.
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
If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.
Oscar Wilde
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.
Oscar Wilde
Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.
Oscar Wilde
There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde
People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde
Then there was a man who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married by then it was too late'
Oscar Wilde
It takes a thoroughly good woman to do a thoroughly stupid thing
Oscar Wilde
I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.
Oscar Wilde
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Oscar Wilde
There was so much in you that charmed me that I felt I must tell you something about yourself. I thought how tragic it would be if you were wasted.
Oscar Wilde
It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.
Oscar Wilde
Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.
Oscar Wilde
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Oscar Wilde
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
Oscar Wilde
memory, like a horrible malady, was eating his soul away
Oscar Wilde
Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
Oscar Wilde
