More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Genius lasts longer than beauty
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
Oscar Wilde
Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
We live, I regret to say, in an age of Big Data hype.
Oscar Wilde
The only beautiful things are the things that do not concern us.
Oscar Wilde
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Sins of the flesh are nothing. They are maladies for physicians to cure, if they should be cured. Sins of the soul alone are shameful.
Oscar Wilde
Truth in art is the unity of a thing with itself: the outward rendered expressive of the inward: the soul made incarnate: the body instinct with spirit. For this reason there is no truth comparable to sorrow.
Oscar Wilde
With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stockbroker, can gain a reputation for being civilized
Oscar Wilde
More than half of modern culture depends upon what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden. It ends with Revelations.
Oscar Wilde
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
She is a peacock in everything but beauty!
Oscar Wilde
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
Oscar Wilde
