More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
Oscar Wilde
I never read a book I must review it prejudices you so.
Oscar Wilde
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde
And if life be, as it surely is, a problem to me, I am no less a problem to life.
Oscar Wilde
But what of life whose bitter hungry sea Flows at our heels, and gloom of sunless night Covers the days which never more return? Ambition, love and all the thoughts that burn We lose too soon, and only find delight In withered husks of some dead memory.
Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Oscar Wilde
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.
Oscar Wilde
It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.
Oscar Wilde
No theory of life seemed to him to be of any importance compared with life itself
Oscar Wilde
The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered.
Oscar Wilde
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
Oscar Wilde
Live the wonderful life that is in you.
Oscar Wilde
If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?
Oscar Wilde
Be yourself, because others are already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.
Oscar Wilde
