Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
St. Paul's Loomed like a bubble o'er the town.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Then there was a man who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married by then it was too late'
Oscar Wilde
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
Oscar Wilde
The only one you need in your life is that person who shows you he needs you in his.
Oscar Wilde
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
Oscar Wilde
Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
Oscar Wilde
