More quotes by 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
Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.
Oscar Wilde
Nature, which makes nothing durable, always repeats itself so that nothing which it makes may be lost.
Oscar Wilde
M. Zola is determined to show that, if he has not got genius, he can at least be dull.
Oscar Wilde
The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.
Oscar Wilde
[on his deathbed in a Paris hotel room] Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.
Oscar Wilde
The story of mankind began in a garden and ended in revelations.
Oscar Wilde
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune to lose both looks like carelessness.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience.
Oscar Wilde
Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207
Oscar Wilde
I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
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
However, I think anything is better than high intellectual pressure. That is the most unbecoming thing there is. It makes the noses of the young girls so particularly large.
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
Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
