Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Like strange mechanical grotesques, Making fantastic arabesques, The shadows raced across the blind.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
