More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
The good we get from art is not what we learn from it it is what we become through it.
Oscar Wilde
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde
Be happy, be happy you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing I cannot resist is temptation.
Oscar Wilde
If we men married the women we deserved, we should have a very bad time of it.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
I have never learned anything except from people younger than myself.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
For one moment our lives met, our souls touched.
Oscar Wilde
LADY BRACKNELL Algernon is an extremely, I may almost say an ostentatiously, eligible young man. He has nothing, but he looks everything. What more can one desire?
Oscar Wilde
Newspapers. . . give us the bald, sordid, disgusting facts of life. They chronicle, with degrading avidity, the sins of the second-rate, and with the conscientiousness of the illiterate give us accurate and prosaic details. . .
Oscar Wilde
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to say that there are neither ruins nor curiosities in America when they have their mothers and their manners.
Oscar Wilde
Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.
Oscar Wilde
To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
Oscar Wilde
The truth is never pure and rarely simple.
Oscar Wilde
Every one of course represents the spirit of his age, but there is an eternal aspect of the Spirit of every age which may be caught. To recreate the past from the mutilated fragments of the present is the task of the Historian.
Oscar Wilde
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde
