More quotes by Oscar Wilde
If we men married the women we deserved, we should have a very bad time of it.
Oscar Wilde
Education is very admirable but let us not forget that anything worth knowing cannot be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect - simply a confession of failures.
Oscar Wilde
One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.
Oscar Wilde
I am not at all cynical, I have merely got experience, which, however, is very much the same thing.
Oscar Wilde
Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.
Oscar Wilde
There is always something infinitely mean about other people's tragedies.
Oscar Wilde
I must remember that a good friend is a new world.
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
Oscar Wilde
Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde
The supreme vice is shallowness.
Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
Oscar Wilde
George Moore leads his readers to the latrine and locks them in.
Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
Oscar Wilde
The American father is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher.
Oscar Wilde
Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
Oscar Wilde
