More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Be happy, be happy you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, and conversation must have a common basis, and between two people of widely different culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level.
Oscar Wilde
He who stands most remote from his age is he who mirrors it best.
Oscar Wilde
I have a simple taste, only the best.
Oscar Wilde
