Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
Genius lasts longer than beauty
Oscar Wilde
Now and then it is a joy to have one's table red with wine and roses.
Oscar Wilde
There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.
Oscar Wilde
