Pray don't talk to me about the weather, Mr. Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me quite nervous.

More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.
Oscar Wilde
The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me. It's perfectly awful to let the mind grind itself away between the upper and nether millstones of regret and remorse without respite with books my life would be livable -- any life.
Oscar Wilde
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.
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
If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.
Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
My dear fellow, the truth isn’t quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman!
Oscar Wilde
No gentleman ever has any money.
Oscar Wilde
Yes poor Bunbury is a dreadful invalid. Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shillyshallying with the question is absurd.
Oscar Wilde
If we men married the women we deserved, we should have a very bad time of it.
Oscar Wilde
A man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it.
Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self denial.
Oscar Wilde
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can sympathise with all the sufferings of the pal, nevertheless it involves an extremely great mother nature to sympathise by using a friend's achievement.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
Sphinxes without secrets.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
Oscar Wilde
