More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
I won't belong to a club that accepts me as a member
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
If it took Labouchere three columns to prove that I was forgotten, then there is no difference between fame and obscurity.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. We all have clouds above us but some see their silver linings. We all face difficulties but some of us are grateful that they aren't worse.
Oscar Wilde
Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.
Oscar Wilde
More than half of modern culture depends upon what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
Ones real life is often the life that one does not lead.
Oscar Wilde
I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not.
Oscar Wilde
Ah, on what little things does happiness depend.
Oscar Wilde
The sky was pure opal now.
Oscar Wilde
Because sometimes you have to do something bad to do something good.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
Women are made to be loved, not understood.
Oscar Wilde
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
Literature always anticipates life. It doesn't copy it but moulds it to it's purpose.
Oscar Wilde
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
To live in this world is a rare thing most people just exist.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
