More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Civilization is not by means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt.
Oscar Wilde
Most people are boring and stupid.
Oscar Wilde
The only one you need in your life is that person who shows you he needs you in his.
Oscar Wilde
Good heavens, I suppose a man may eat his own muffins in his own garden. But you have just said it was perfectly heartless to eat muffins! I said it was perfectly heartless of YOU under the circumstances. That is a very different thing. That may be, but the muffins are the same!
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.
Oscar Wilde
Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval.
Oscar Wilde
I love hearing my relations abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die.
Oscar Wilde
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Oscar Wilde
I should have remembered that when one is going to lead an entirely new life, one requires regular and wholesome meals.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
Her love was trembling in laughter on her lips.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde
You have never been poor, and never known what ambition is.
Oscar Wilde
Football is all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys.
Oscar Wilde
You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
Oscar Wilde
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Oscar Wilde
