Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Art creates an incomparable and unique effect, and, having done so, passes on to other things. Nature, upon the other hand, forgetting that that imitation can be made the sincerest form of insult, keeps on repeating this effect until we all become absolutely wearied of it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I wrote when I did not know life now that I do know the meaning of life, I have no more to write. Life cannot be written life can only be lived.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
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
Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I was very much disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood.
