More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
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
When good Americans die, they go to Paris Where do bad Americans go? They stay in America
Oscar Wilde
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Oscar Wilde
It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation should touch everything, but should concentrate itself on nothing.
Oscar Wilde
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
Oscar Wilde
When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale. A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.
Oscar Wilde
And if life be, as it surely is, a problem to me, I am no less a problem to life.
Oscar Wilde
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
Oscar Wilde
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Oscar Wilde
The final mystery is oneself... Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul.
Oscar Wilde
