Starvation, not sin, is the parent of modern crime.
Oscar Wilde

Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The supreme object of life is to live. Few people live. It is true life only to realize one's own perfection, to make one's every dream a reality.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is a vulgar error to suppose that America was ever discovered. It was merely detected.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every thing to be true must become a religion.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.
Oscar Wilde
