More quotes by Oscar Wilde
America is the noisiest country that ever existed. One is waked up in the morning, not by the singing of the nightingale, but by the steam whistle.
Oscar Wilde
The moon in her chariot of pearl
Oscar Wilde
Though of all poses a moral pose is the most offensive, still to have a pose at all is something.
Oscar Wilde
Don't tell me that you have exhausted Life. When a man says that, one knows that life has exhausted him.
Oscar Wilde
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.
Oscar Wilde
I never came across anyone in whom the moral sense was dominant who was not heartless, cruel, vindictive, log-stupid, and entirely lacking in the smallest sense of humanity. Moral people, as they are termed, are simple beasts.
Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.
Oscar Wilde
Art is rarely intelligible to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
As for borrowing Mr. Whistler's ideas about art, the only thoroughly original ideas I have heard him express have had reference to his own superiority as a painter over painters greater than himself.
Oscar Wilde
The one charm about the past is that it is the past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen.
Oscar Wilde
Work is the curse of the drinking class. I can resist everything except temptation. Moderation is a fatal thing - nothing succeeds like excess. We are all of us in the gutter. But some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Be happy, be happy you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.
Oscar Wilde
An actor is part illusionist, part artist, part ham.
Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
A mask tells us more than a face.
Oscar Wilde
It is personalities not principles that move the age.
Oscar Wilde
Then there was a man who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married by then it was too late'
Oscar Wilde
