More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
The best work in literature is always done by those who do not depend on it for their daily bread and the highest form of literature, Poetry, brings no wealth to the singer.
Oscar Wilde
I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar Wilde
The best art is about individualism, free self-expression and realising a unique, imaginative perspective- A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public. The public are to him non-existent.
Oscar Wilde
There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I don’t care about Jack. I don’t care for anybody in the whole world but you. I love you, Cecily. You will marry me, won’t you? You silly boy! Of course. Why, we have been engaged for the last three months. For the last three months?
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
In art, the public accept what has been, because they cannot alter it, not because they appreciate it. They swallow their classics whole, and never taste them.
Oscar Wilde
Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
Extravagance is the luxury of the poor penury is the luxury of the rich.
Oscar Wilde
A beggar hates his benefactor as much as he hates himself for begging.
Oscar Wilde
We are the zanies of sorrow. We are clowns whose hearts are broken.
Oscar Wilde
To live in this world is a rare thing most people just exist.
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
The supreme vice is shallowness.
Oscar Wilde
It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world
Oscar Wilde
Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things.
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
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
I love the French language... it's a delightful language, especially to curse with. It's like whopping your ass with silk.
Oscar Wilde
