More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden. It ends with Revelations.
Oscar Wilde
Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.
Oscar Wilde
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.
Oscar Wilde
The English public always feels perfectly at ease when a mediocrity is talking to it.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.

Oscar Wilde
What are American dry-goods? asked the duchess, raising her large hands in wonder and accentuating the verb. American novels, answered Lord Henry.
Oscar Wilde
The only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
And suddenly the moon withdraws her sickle from the lightening skies, and to her sombre cavern flies, wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.
Oscar Wilde
I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die.
Oscar Wilde
Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
Oscar Wilde
Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain.
Oscar Wilde
The 19thc hatred of Realism is Caliban's enraged reaction to seeing his own face in the mirror. The 19thc rejection of Romanticism is Caliban's fury at not seeing his face reflected in the mirror.
Oscar Wilde
Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
Oscar Wilde
