More quotes by Oscar Wilde
we always misunderstood ourselves, and rarely understood others
Oscar Wilde
Sooner or later we have all to pay for what we do.
Oscar Wilde
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Oscar Wilde
I never came across anyone in whom the moral sense was dominant who was not heartless, cruel, vindictive, log-stupid, and entirely lacking in the smallest sense of humanity. Moral people, as they are termed, are simple beasts.
Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
Reported as Oscar Wilde's last words on his death bed... This wallpaper is killing me. One of us has to go.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
I put my talent in my work, I save my Genius for my life.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
I have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful.
Oscar Wilde
If you cannot write well, you cannot think well if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.
Oscar Wilde
The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.
Oscar Wilde
I put all my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works.
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
Oscar Wilde
LORD ILLINGWORTH What do you think she'd do if I kissed her? MRS ALLONBY Either marry you, or strike you across the face with her glove. What would you do if she struck you across the face with her glove? LORD ILLINGWORTH Fall in love with her, probably.
Oscar Wilde
The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.
Oscar Wilde
I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar Wilde
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
