Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine Burned like the ruby fire set In the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine, Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate, Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The criminal classes are so close to us that even the policemen can see them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualification.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is immoral to use private property in order to alleviate the horrible evils that result from the institutions of private property.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Any preoccupation with ideas of what is right or wrong in conduct shows an arrested intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The study of law is sublime, and its practice vulgar.
