More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.
Oscar Wilde
A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
People seldom tell the truths that are worth telling. We ought to choose our truths as carefully as we choose our lies and to select our virtues with as much thought as we bestow upon the selection of our enemies.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing is so aggravating than calmness.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is the only real colour element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing.
Oscar Wilde
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
My dear fellow, the truth isn’t quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman!
Oscar Wilde
Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
Oscar Wilde
Placerea este testul naturii, semnul ei aprobator.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
I have been right, Basil, haven’t I, to take my love out of poetry, and to find my wife in Shakespeare’s plays? Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.
Oscar Wilde
There are only two kinds of women, the plain and the coloured.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
He who stands most remote from his age is he who mirrors it best.
Oscar Wilde
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.
Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
