More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.
Oscar Wilde
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
Oscar Wilde
Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.
Oscar Wilde
Palermo was lovely. The most beautifully situated town in the world - it dreams away its life in the Conca d'Oro, the exquisite valley that lies between two seas. The lemon groves and the orange gardens were entirely perfect.
Oscar Wilde
We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow.
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible.
Oscar Wilde
Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.
Oscar Wilde
The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation should touch everything, but should concentrate itself on nothing.
Oscar Wilde
God grant me the serenity to accept that people are ignorant, the courage to uphold the law when I'm hostile, & the wisdom to realize that murder is illegal.
Oscar Wilde
Comfort is the only thing our civilization can give us.
Oscar Wilde
I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who would call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one.
Oscar Wilde
It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like compliments, and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.
Oscar Wilde
I was wrong. God's law is only Love.
Oscar Wilde
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde
