More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.

Full frontal nudity is reserved for Adam and Eve!
Oscar Wilde

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.

Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither
Oscar Wilde

You can't possibly ask me to go without having some dinner. It's absurd. I never go without my dinner. No one ever does, except vegetarians and people like that.

Her trust makes me faithful, her belief makes me good.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde
Image
You told me you had destroyed it. I was wrong. It has destroyed me.

I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.

Men become old, but they never become good.
