More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.
Oscar Wilde
We are the zanies of sorrow. We are clowns whose hearts are broken.
Oscar Wilde
I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
Everyone should keep someone else's diary.
Oscar Wilde
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
Oscar Wilde
The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Oscar Wilde
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
you will always love, and you will always be loved
Oscar Wilde
Shakespeare might have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the white streets of London, or seen the serving-men of rival houses bite their thumbs at each other in the open square but Hamlet came out of his soul, and Romeo out of his passion.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize
Oscar Wilde
An opinion is not necesarily correct just because you're willing to die for it.
Oscar Wilde
The chin a little higher, dear. Style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present.
Oscar Wilde
Every thing to be true must become a religion.
Oscar Wilde
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde
Better the rule of One, whom all obey, than to let clamorous demagogues betray our freedom with the kiss of anarchy.
Oscar Wilde
