More quotes by Oscar Wilde
He hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his friend like him.
Oscar Wilde
No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime.
Oscar Wilde
Any preoccupation with ideas of what is right or wrong in conduct shows an arrested intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
It is the stupid and the ugly who have the best of it in this world
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
In fact, the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people.... The Japanese people are ... simply a mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.
Oscar Wilde
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde
All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and it degrades those over whom it is exercised.
Oscar Wilde
On the whole, the great success of marriage in the States is due partly to the fact that no American man is ever idle, and partly to the fact that no American wife is considered responsible for the quality of her husband's dinners.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
We in the House of Lords are never in touch with public opinion. That makes us a civilised body.
Oscar Wilde
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
Oscar Wilde
The true artist is known by what he annexes, and he annexes everything.
Oscar Wilde
Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde
A process which makes one rogue cleverer than another.
Oscar Wilde
