More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde
In art, the public accept what has been, because they cannot alter it, not because they appreciate it. They swallow their classics whole, and never taste them.
Oscar Wilde
There are times when sorrow seems to me to be the only truth.
Oscar Wilde
It would leave no room for developments and I intend to develop in many directions.
Oscar Wilde
We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
Oscar Wilde
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
The only horrible thing in the world is ennui.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.
Oscar Wilde
A process which makes one rogue cleverer than another.
Oscar Wilde
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
Oscar Wilde
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
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
I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.
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
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
Oscar Wilde
That is the mission of art - to make us pause and look at a thing a second time.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.
Oscar Wilde
A man is called affected, nowadays, if he dresses as he likes to dress. But in doing that he is acting in a perfectly natural manner. Affectation, in such matters, consists in dressing according to the views of one's neighbour, whose views, as they are the views of the majority, will probably be extremely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
