More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Hatred is blind, as well as love.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.
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
Those who have much are often greedy. Those who have little always share.
Oscar Wilde
To toil for a hard master is bitter, but to have no master to toil for is more bitter still.
Oscar Wilde
The supreme vice is shallowness.
Oscar Wilde
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is wonderful, but the experience is even more wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
In married life three is company and two none.
Oscar Wilde
I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram.
Oscar Wilde
It is immoral to use private property in order to alleviate the horrible evils that result from the institutions of private property.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
I expect I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.
Oscar Wilde
Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better.
Oscar Wilde
Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.
Oscar Wilde
