Oscar Wilde
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
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
Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
Oscar Wilde
The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, And bound with bars lest Christ should see How men their brothers maim.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
Oscar Wilde
I must remember that a good friend is a new world.
Oscar Wilde
She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses but in all my garden there is no red rose.
Oscar Wilde
