More quotes by Oscar Wilde
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
The unread is always better than the unreadable.
Oscar Wilde
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
The only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
Oscar Wilde
Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about.
Oscar Wilde
A grand passion is the privelege of people who have nothing to do.
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
The only horrible thing in the world is ennui.
Oscar Wilde
And now, I am dying beyond my means. (Said while sipping champagne on his deathbed.)
Oscar Wilde
I have never learned anything except from people younger than myself.
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
The one advantage of playing with fire...is that no one ever gets singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.
Oscar Wilde
