More quotes by Oscar Wilde
And all, but Lust, is turned to dust In Humanity's machine.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like compliments, and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.
Oscar Wilde
A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
The one charm about the past is that it is the past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen.
Oscar Wilde
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
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
Genius lasts longer than beauty
Oscar Wilde
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
I analyzed you, though you did not adore me.
Oscar Wilde
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
People seldom tell the truths that are worth telling. We ought to choose our truths as carefully as we choose our lies and to select our virtues with as much thought as we bestow upon the selection of our enemies.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
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
LADY BRACKNELL Algernon is an extremely, I may almost say an ostentatiously, eligible young man. He has nothing, but he looks everything. What more can one desire?
Oscar Wilde
Always! That is the dreadful word ... it is a meaningless word, too.
Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Oscar Wilde
Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only faith, but on one side only devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.
Oscar Wilde
