Oscar Wilde
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
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
In England ... education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and would probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
Oscar Wilde

The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.
Oscar Wilde
We become lovers when we see Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet makes us students. The blood of Duncan is upon our hands, with Timon werage against the world, and when Lear wanders out upon the heath the terror of madness touches us. Ours is the white sinlessness of Desdemona, and ours, also, the sin of Iago.
Oscar Wilde
The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar Wilde
