More quotes by Oscar Wilde
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
I wrote when I did not know life now that I do know the meaning of life, I have no more to write. Life cannot be written life can only be lived.
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
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde
Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.
Oscar Wilde
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.
Oscar Wilde
There is more to be said for stupidity than people imagine. Personally I have a great admiration for stupidity. It is a sort of fellow-feeling, I suppose.
Oscar Wilde
Fashion: by which what is really fantastic becomes for a moment the universal.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
Oscar Wilde
When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.
Oscar Wilde
The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.
Oscar Wilde
Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself everyone else is taken.
Oscar Wilde
In England ... education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and would probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
Oscar Wilde
To define is to limit.
Oscar Wilde
When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself.
Oscar Wilde
