When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.
Oscar Wilde
I love the French language... it's a delightful language, especially to curse with. It's like whopping your ass with silk.
Oscar Wilde
I was dominated, soul, brain, and power by you. You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
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
The evolution of man is slow. The injustice of men is great.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
