More quotes by 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.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
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
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.
Oscar Wilde
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde
It is what we fear that happens to us.
Oscar Wilde
Every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character.
Oscar Wilde
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
And the marvellous rose became crimson, like the rose of the eastern sky. Crimson was the girdle of petals, and crimson as a ruby was the heart
Oscar Wilde
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive.
Oscar Wilde
I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.
Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Oscar Wilde
There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.
Oscar Wilde
Grass is hard and lumpy and damp, and full of dreadful black insects.
Oscar Wilde
The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is the aim of conversation, and is a far more civilized being than the blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is told simply for the amusement of the company.
Oscar Wilde
For, try as we may, we cannot get behind the appearence of things to reality. And the terrible reason may be that there is no reality in the things apart from their appearences.
Oscar Wilde
Artists, like the Greek gods, are only revealed to one another.
Oscar Wilde
