Oscar Wilde
Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
The only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.

Oscar Wilde
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
You can have your secret as long as I have your heart[.]
Oscar Wilde
Grass is hard and lumpy and damp, and full of dreadful black insects.
Oscar Wilde
That is the mission of art - to make us pause and look at a thing a second time.
Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
A beggar hates his benefactor as much as he hates himself for begging.
Oscar Wilde
It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
Oscar Wilde
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Who is that man over there? I don't know him. What is he doing? Is he a conspirator? Have you searched him? Give him till tomorrow to confess, then hang him! -- hang him!
Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
