More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
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
Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.
Oscar Wilde
Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Oscar Wilde
Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.
Oscar Wilde
Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Oscar Wilde
Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Oscar Wilde
I have been right, Basil, haven’t I, to take my love out of poetry, and to find my wife in Shakespeare’s plays? Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.
Oscar Wilde
The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Oscar Wilde
There is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage: a marriage in which there is love, but on one side only.
Oscar Wilde
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
