Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
It's the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
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
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
I was very much disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Oscar Wilde
