More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.
Oscar Wilde
I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.
Oscar Wilde
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.
Oscar Wilde
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde
Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
Irony is wasted on the stupid
Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.
Oscar Wilde
Art should never be popular.
Oscar Wilde
Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.
Oscar Wilde
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
He hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his friend like him.
Oscar Wilde
Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly
Oscar Wilde
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Oscar Wilde
It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
