More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The job of the critic is to report to us his moods.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.
Oscar Wilde
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
Oscar Wilde
The only proper intoxication is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde
The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.
Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.
Oscar Wilde
It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.
Oscar Wilde
You and I will always be friends. Yet you poisoned me with a book once. I should not forgive that.
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
Oscar Wilde
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
Man is many things, but he is not rational.
Oscar Wilde
Taking sides is the beginning of sincerity, and earnestness follows shortly afterwards, and the human being becomes a bore.
Oscar Wilde
