More quotes by Oscar Wilde
And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine Burned like the ruby fire set In the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine, Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate, Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
Oscar Wilde
A flower blossoms for its own joy.
Oscar Wilde
To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.
Oscar Wilde
The birds did not understand a single word of what he was saying, but that made no matter, for they put their heads on one side, and looked wise, which is quite as good as understanding a thing, and very much easier.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.

Oscar Wilde
Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault. One had to pay over and over again, indeed. In her dealings with man, Destiny never closed her accounts.
Oscar Wilde
Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.
Oscar Wilde
Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was probably made for better things.
Oscar Wilde
The last person who ever crossed me is dead under my bed!!!
Oscar Wilde
At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.
Oscar Wilde
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
Oscar Wilde
Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde
In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
Oscar Wilde
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Oscar Wilde
In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.
Oscar Wilde
