More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I am happy in my prison of passion
Oscar Wilde
He rides in the row at ten o clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
You are young. No hungry generations tread you down. The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost
Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
He who stands most remote from his age is he who mirrors it best.
Oscar Wilde
A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
