More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion-these are the two things that govern us.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
Oscar Wilde
Psychology is in its infancy, as a science. I hope in the interests of Art, it will always remain so.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?
Oscar Wilde
The longer I live, Dorian, the more keenly I feel that whatever was good enough for our fathers is not good enough for us. In art, as in politics, les grand-pères ont toujours tort.
Oscar Wilde
Sins of the flesh are nothing. They are maladies for physicians to cure, if they should be cured. Sins of the soul alone are shameful.
Oscar Wilde
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. 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
Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.
Oscar Wilde
A man who takes himself too seriously will find that no one else takes him seriously.
Oscar Wilde
The tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self denial.
Oscar Wilde
Any preoccupation with ideas of what is right or wrong in conduct shows an arrested intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
I was very much disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Oscar Wilde
The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
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
Cultivated leisure is the aim of man.
Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
Oscar Wilde
You told me you had destroyed it. I was wrong. It has destroyed me.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
