More quotes by Oscar Wilde
To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist - the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar.
Oscar Wilde
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.
Oscar Wilde
We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbor with those virtues that are likely to benefit ourselves. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets.
Oscar Wilde
She is a peacock in everything but beauty!
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.
Oscar Wilde
If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.
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
The sky was pure opal now.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
Oscar Wilde
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
Oscar Wilde
It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.
Oscar Wilde
Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better.
Oscar Wilde
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
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
The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden. It ends with Revelations.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are too important to be taken seriously.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Oscar Wilde
All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.
Oscar Wilde
