More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.
Oscar Wilde
The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I am not at all cynical, I have merely got experience, which, however, is very much the same thing.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
Oscar Wilde
Even now I cannot help feeling that it is a mistake to think that the passion one feels in creation is ever really shown in the work one creates.
Oscar Wilde
You can fake intelligence, but you can't fake wit.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
If God really wanted to punish, he'd answer all our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
Oscar Wilde
Mr. Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty.
Oscar Wilde
Bad artists always admire each others work.
