More quotes by Oscar Wilde
We Irish will never achieve anything but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks

Oscar Wilde
To be in love is to surpass one's self.
Oscar Wilde
They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses - once.

Oscar Wilde
Really, this horrid House of Commons quite ruins our husbands for us. I think the Lower House by far the greatest blow to a happy married life that there has been since that terrible thing called the Higher Education of Women was invented.
Oscar Wilde
Personally, I have a great admiration for stupidity.
Oscar Wilde
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching.
Oscar Wilde
Men become old, but they never become good.
Oscar Wilde
A man is called affected, nowadays, if he dresses as he likes to dress. But in doing that he is acting in a perfectly natural manner. Affectation, in such matters, consists in dressing according to the views of one's neighbour, whose views, as they are the views of the majority, will probably be extremely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
