More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Personally, I have a great admiration for stupidity.
Oscar Wilde
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
Oscar Wilde
Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor.
Oscar Wilde
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
The true artist is known by what he annexes, and he annexes everything.
Oscar Wilde
Art finds her own perfection within, and not outside of, herself. She is not to be judged by any external standard of resemblance.
Oscar Wilde
Literature always anticipates life. It doesn't copy it but moulds it to it's purpose.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
Oscar Wilde
An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant as the case may be.
Oscar Wilde
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
Music is the perfect type of art.
Oscar Wilde
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Oscar Wilde
I didn't have a life until I went up onstage.
Oscar Wilde
One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.
Oscar Wilde
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
George Moore wrote brilliant English until he discovered grammar.
Oscar Wilde
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
Oscar Wilde
Sooner or later we have all to pay for what we do.
Oscar Wilde
