As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I was wrong. God's law is only Love.
Oscar Wilde
Image
As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
I would not a bit mind sleeping in the cool grass in summer, and when winter came on sheltering myself by the warm close-thatched rick, or under the penthouse of a great barn, provided I had love in my heart.
Oscar Wilde

The evolution of man is slow. The injustice of men is great.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.

Travel ennobles the spirit and does away with our prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every thing to be true must become a religion.
Oscar Wilde
Image
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Lord Darlington (LD): I think life too complex a thing to be settled by these hard and fast rules. Lady Windemere (LW): If we had 'hard-and-fast rules' we would find life much simpler. LD: You allow of no exceptions? LW: None! LD: Ah, what a fascinating Puritan you are, LW. LW: The adjective was unnecessary, LD.

Image
Be happy, be happy you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.
Oscar Wilde

One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.

He hadn’t a single redeeming vice.
