Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Man is many things, but he is not rational.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
Image
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.
Oscar Wilde

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I don't like compliments, and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The fatal errors of life are not due to man's being unreasonable: an unreasonable moment may be one's finest moment. They are due to man's being logical.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale. A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed and mourning over tragedies that were not my own.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What the hell is an oboe?
Oscar Wilde
Image
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I don't mind plain women being puritans. It is the only excuse they have for being plain.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.
Oscar Wilde
