Oscar Wilde

A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
Image
One should always be in love.
Oscar Wilde

But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.

The moon in her chariot of pearl
Oscar Wilde

Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb.
Oscar Wilde
