More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Man is many things, but he is not rational.
Oscar Wilde
The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.
Oscar Wilde
In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
Oscar Wilde
Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
Oscar Wilde
Men become old, but they never become good.
Oscar Wilde
I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die.
Oscar Wilde
Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.
Oscar Wilde
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
Oscar Wilde
I had buried my romance in a bed of asphodel.
Oscar Wilde
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Oscar Wilde
What are American dry-goods? asked the duchess, raising her large hands in wonder and accentuating the verb. American novels, answered Lord Henry.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. ...Art is the most intense mode of Individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of Individualism that the world has known. ...Art is Individualism.
Oscar Wilde
The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others.
Oscar Wilde
He hadn’t a single redeeming vice.
Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young.
Oscar Wilde
Imagination is imitative-the real innovation lies in criticism.
Oscar Wilde
The problem with the common person is that he is so unbearably common!
Oscar Wilde
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
A man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it.
Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
