More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Oh, that's nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Nobody ever does.
Oscar Wilde
It would leave no room for developments and I intend to develop in many directions.
Oscar Wilde
He rides in the row at ten o clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?
Oscar Wilde
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.
Oscar Wilde
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
Civilization is not by means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt.
Oscar Wilde
Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?
Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
Oscar Wilde
Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207
Oscar Wilde
Yes poor Bunbury is a dreadful invalid. Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shillyshallying with the question is absurd.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching.
Oscar Wilde
My dear young lady, there was a great deal of truth I dare say, in what you said, and you looked very pretty while you said it, which is much more important.
Oscar Wilde
Most people are boring and stupid.
Oscar Wilde
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
Oscar Wilde
Work is the curse of the drinking class. I can resist everything except temptation. Moderation is a fatal thing - nothing succeeds like excess. We are all of us in the gutter. But some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
I was very much disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
The story of mankind began in a garden and ended in revelations.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that the artist cannot see is the obvious. The only thing that the public can see is the obvious.
Oscar Wilde
