More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Do not forget that small daily actions do or undo character.
Oscar Wilde
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
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
Newspapers. . . give us the bald, sordid, disgusting facts of life. They chronicle, with degrading avidity, the sins of the second-rate, and with the conscientiousness of the illiterate give us accurate and prosaic details. . .
Oscar Wilde
I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram.
Oscar Wilde
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
It is what we fear that happens to us.
Oscar Wilde
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
Oscar Wilde
Find expression for a sorrow, and it will become dear to you. Find expression for a joy, and you will intensify its ecstasy.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
America is one long expectoration.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Oscar Wilde
Nowadays we are all of us so hard up that the only pleasant things to pay are compliments. They’re the only things we can pay.
Oscar Wilde
Like two doomed ships that pass in storm we had crossed each other's way: but we made no sign, we said no word, we had no word to say.
Oscar Wilde
Men of thoughts should have nothing to do with action.
Oscar Wilde
Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy.
Oscar Wilde
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
Dear little Swallow,’ said the Prince, ‘you tell me of marvelous things, but more marvelous than anything is the suffering of men and of women. There is no Mystery so great as Misery.
Oscar Wilde
