More quotes by Oscar Wilde
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Oscar Wilde

Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.
Oscar Wilde
Ah, on what little things does happiness depend.
Oscar Wilde
What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics. Just what Society should be.
Oscar Wilde
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
Oscar Wilde
Foxhunting... the unspeakable pursuing the inedible.
Oscar Wilde
Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
