The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The burden of this world is too great for one man to bear, and the world’s sorrow too heavy for one heart to suffer.
Oscar Wilde
Image
As one reads history ... one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There can be nothing more frequent than an occasional drink.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
Oscar Wilde
Image
My dear young lady, there was a great deal of truth I dare say, in what you said, and you looked very pretty while you said it, which is much more important.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only sin is stupidity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Sometime you will find, even as I have found, that there is no such thing as romantic experience there are romantic memories, and there is the desire of romance- that is all. Our most fiery moments of ecstasy are merely shadows of what somewhere else we have felt, or of what we long someday to feel
Oscar Wilde
Image
Each little thing that we do passes into the great machine of life which may grind our virtues to powder and make them worthless, or transform our sins into elements of a new civilization, more marvelous and more splendid than any that has gone before.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Art is rarely intelligible to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Selfishness is not living your life as you wish to live it. Selfishness is wanting others to live their lives as you wish them to.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Grass is hard and lumpy and damp, and full of dreadful black insects.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde
Image
The supreme object of life is to live. Few people live. It is true life only to realize one's own perfection, to make one's every dream a reality.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Taking sides is the beginning of sincerity, and earnestness follows shortly afterwards, and the human being becomes a bore.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde
