More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who takes himself too seriously will find that no one else takes him seriously.
Oscar Wilde
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde
To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.
Oscar Wilde
A man is called affected, nowadays, if he dresses as he likes to dress. But in doing that he is acting in a perfectly natural manner.

Oscar Wilde
I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn't. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.
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
Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly
Oscar Wilde
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde
The gods bestowed on Max [Beerbohm] the gift of perpetual old age.
Oscar Wilde
Come, dear, [Gwendolen rises] we have already missed five, if not six, trains. To miss any more might expose us to comment on the platform.
Oscar Wilde
