More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
Oscar Wilde
Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.
Oscar Wilde
I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees in the garden of the world… And so, indeed, I went out, and so I lived. My only mistake was that I confined myself so exclusively to the trees of what seemed to me the sun-lit side of the garden, and shunned the other side for its shadow and its gloom.
Oscar Wilde
Nowadays we are all of us so hard up that the only pleasant things to pay are compliments. They’re the only things we can pay.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing worse than quoting me, is not quoting me
Oscar Wilde
I know not whether Laws be right, Or whether Laws be wrong All that we know who be in jail Is that the wall is strong And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.
Oscar Wilde
Rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies far from the center of the city.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing worse than being misquoted is being sentenced to two years' hard labour for buggery
Oscar Wilde
Now and then it is a joy to have one's table red with wine and roses.
Oscar Wilde
Sometime you will find, even as I have found, that there is no such thing as romantic experience there are romantic memories, and there is the desire of romance- that is all. Our most fiery moments of ecstasy are merely shadows of what somewhere else we have felt, or of what we long someday to feel
Oscar Wilde
No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Oscar Wilde
You might see nothing in him. I see everything in him.
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
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde
She behaves as if she was beautiful. Most American women do. It is the secret of their charm.
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
Most people are other people.
Oscar Wilde
Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.
Oscar Wilde
You can have your secret as long as I have your heart[.]
Oscar Wilde
