More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Oscar Wilde
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I gave my genius to my life, but my talent to my art.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.
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
Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
