More quotes by Oscar Wilde
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
Oscar Wilde
Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy.
Oscar Wilde
Two men look out a window. One sees mud, the other sees the stars.
Oscar Wilde
However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
Oscar Wilde
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity. Not with Women, said the duchess, shaking her head and women rule the world. I assure you we can't bear mediocrities. We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all. It seems to me that we never do anything else, murmered Dorian.
Oscar Wilde
Do not forget that small daily actions do or undo character.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is wonderful, but the experience is even more wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
Oh! I don't think I would like to catch a sensible man. I shouldn't know what to talk to him about.
Oscar Wilde
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
In married life three is company and two none.
Oscar Wilde
one pale woman all alone, The daylight kissing her wan hair, Loitered beneath the gas lamps' flare, With lips of flame and heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
JACK Your duty as a gentleman calls you back. ALGERNON My duty as a gentleman has never interfered with my pleasures in the smallest degree.
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
