More quotes by Oscar Wilde
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
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
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.
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
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.
Oscar Wilde
The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Oscar Wilde
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
Oscar Wilde
A passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young.
Oscar Wilde
Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.
Oscar Wilde
All the spring may be hidden in the single bud, and the low ground nest of the lark may hold the joy that is to herald the feet of many rose-red dawns.
Oscar Wilde
She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.
Oscar Wilde
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
Oscar Wilde
One should always be in love.
Oscar Wilde
The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret.
Oscar Wilde
Artists reproduce themselves or each other, with wearisome iteration. But criticism is always moving on, and the critic is always developing.
Oscar Wilde
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
Oscar Wilde
A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.
Oscar Wilde
He knew the precise psychological moment when to say nothing.
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.
Oscar Wilde
And if life be, as it surely is, a problem to me, I am no less a problem to life.
Oscar Wilde
