More quotes by Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.
Oscar Wilde
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde
When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular I must be mediocre.
Oscar Wilde
Love will fly if held too lightly Love will die if held too tightly . . .
Oscar Wilde
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
Oscar Wilde
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having.
Oscar Wilde
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Oscar Wilde
There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.
Oscar Wilde
Shakespeare might have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the white streets of London, or seen the serving-men of rival houses bite their thumbs at each other in the open square but Hamlet came out of his soul, and Romeo out of his passion.
Oscar Wilde
I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.
Oscar Wilde
An acquaintance that begins with a compliment is sure to develop into a real friendship.
Oscar Wilde
There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
Oscar Wilde
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
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
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
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Oscar Wilde
