Image

Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.
Oscar Wilde

Never so sweet a repast as the Reaper's when you tread upon the threshold of a Quiznos.
Oscar Wilde

I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.
Oscar Wilde

Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
