More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
Women are made to be loved, not understood.
Oscar Wilde
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.
Oscar Wilde
A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.
Oscar Wilde
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure.
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
I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
Oscar Wilde
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde
The one advantage of playing with fire...is that no one ever gets singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.
Oscar Wilde
A beggar hates his benefactor as much as he hates himself for begging.
Oscar Wilde
She is a peacock in everything but beauty!
Oscar Wilde
I am Irish by race but the English have condemned me to talk the language of Shakespeare.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
Oscar Wilde
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde
Life under a good government is rarely dramatic life under a bad government is always so.
Oscar Wilde
