Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
Oscar Wilde
The true artist is known by what he annexes, and he annexes everything.
Oscar Wilde
Ah, on what little things does happiness depend.
Oscar Wilde
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity. Not with Women, said the duchess, shaking her head and women rule the world. I assure you we can't bear mediocrities. We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all. It seems to me that we never do anything else, murmered Dorian.
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself everyone else is taken.
Oscar Wilde
