More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.
Oscar Wilde
Every one of course represents the spirit of his age, but there is an eternal aspect of the Spirit of every age which may be caught. To recreate the past from the mutilated fragments of the present is the task of the Historian.
Oscar Wilde
Divorces are made in heaven.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb.
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
There is no such thing as a heterosexual male, only men who haven't met Oscar Wilde yet.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
Oscar Wilde
When people talk to me about the weather, I always feel they mean something else.
Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
I wonder that no criminal has ever pleaded the ugliness of your city as an excuse for his crimes.
Oscar Wilde
