Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Oh, no doubt the cod is a splendid swimmer - admirable for swimming purposes but not for eating.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.
Oscar Wilde
Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
Oscar Wilde
Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.
Oscar Wilde
The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Oscar Wilde
I am not at all cynical, I have merely got experience, which, however, is very much the same thing.
Oscar Wilde
Artists, like the Greek gods, are only revealed to one another.
Oscar Wilde
