More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Oscar Wilde
If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Those who have much are often greedy. Those who have little always share.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity.
Oscar Wilde
It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. You, Mr. Gray, you yourself, with yourrose-red youth and your rose-white boyhood, you have had passions that have made you afraid, thoughts that have filled you with terror, day-dreams and sleeping dreams whose mere memory might stain your cheek with shame.
Oscar Wilde
The only horrible thing in the world is ennui.
Oscar Wilde
The last person who ever crossed me is dead under my bed!!!
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
