Oscar Wilde
Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.
Oscar Wilde
When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.

Oscar Wilde
Palermo was lovely. The most beautifully situated town in the world - it dreams away its life in the Conca d'Oro, the exquisite valley that lies between two seas. The lemon groves and the orange gardens were entirely perfect.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Now and then it is a joy to have one's table red with wine and roses.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I have pleasures, and passions, but the joy of life is gone. I am going under: the morgue yawns for me. I go and look at my zinc-bed there. After all, I had a wonderful life, which is, I fear, over.
Oscar Wilde
Her trust makes me faithful, her belief makes me good.
Oscar Wilde
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Oscar Wilde
Her love was trembling in laughter on her lips.
Oscar Wilde
The world is made by the singer for the dreamer.
Oscar Wilde
In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.
Oscar Wilde
