More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
Every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
Oscar Wilde
Prism! Where is that baby?
Oscar Wilde
My writing has gone to bits - like my character. I am simply a self-conscious nerve in pain.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise [in the future. But only if we set out to make this true and anticipate it so we look for the blessings until we find them].
Oscar Wilde
There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Biography lends to death a new terror.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
One must have some sort of occupation nowadays. If I hadn't my debts I shouldn't have anything to think about.
Oscar Wilde
Believe me, no civilized man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilized man ever knows what a pleasure is.
Oscar Wilde
After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience.
Oscar Wilde
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
Oscar Wilde
The good we get from art is not what we learn from it it is what we become through it.
Oscar Wilde
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
