More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.
Oscar Wilde
To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.
Oscar Wilde
The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.
Oscar Wilde
If it took Labouchere three columns to prove that I was forgotten, then there is no difference between fame and obscurity.
Oscar Wilde
