More quotes by Oscar Wilde
To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Fantastic shadows of birds
Oscar Wilde
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde
There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob all authority is equally bad.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. ...Art is the most intense mode of Individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of Individualism that the world has known. ...Art is Individualism.
Oscar Wilde
If only the picture could grow old, and I stay young. For that...for that, I would give my SOUL for that.
Oscar Wilde
Though of all poses a moral pose is the most offensive, still to have a pose at all is something.
Oscar Wilde
We spend our days, each one of us, in looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in Art.
Oscar Wilde
[on his deathbed in a Paris hotel room] Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.
Oscar Wilde
If a woman wants to hold a man she has merely to appeal to what is worst in him.
Oscar Wilde
Never so sweet a repast as the Reaper's when you tread upon the threshold of a Quiznos.
Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde
