More quotes by Oscar Wilde
And now, I am dying beyond my means. (Said while sipping champagne on his deathbed.)
Oscar Wilde
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of herself. -Author Unknown As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Irony is wasted on the stupid
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
We who live in prison, and in whose lives there is no event but sorrow, have to measure time by throbs of pain, and the record of bitter moments.
Oscar Wilde
The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.
Oscar Wilde
One should always be in love.
Oscar Wilde
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Oscar Wilde
Women are made to be loved, not understood.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation should touch everything, but should concentrate itself on nothing.
Oscar Wilde
A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses.
Oscar Wilde
The only beautiful things are the things that do not concern us.
Oscar Wilde
We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow.
Oscar Wilde
I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question - simple curiosity.
Oscar Wilde
Can they feel, I wonder, those white silent people we call the dead?
Oscar Wilde
