More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing one's clean linen in public.
Oscar Wilde
There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.
Oscar Wilde
I see the moon like a clipped piece of silver. Like gilded bees the stars cluster round her.
Oscar Wilde
A mutual misunderstanding.
Oscar Wilde
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
Cecily. This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade. Gwendolen. [Satirically.] I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.
Oscar Wilde
Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
We live, I regret to say, in an age of Big Data hype.
Oscar Wilde
The birds that were singing in the dew-drenched garden seemed to be telling the flowers about her.
Oscar Wilde
Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.
Oscar Wilde
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.
Oscar Wilde
Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.
Oscar Wilde
we always misunderstood ourselves, and rarely understood others
Oscar Wilde
Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
Oscar Wilde
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde
They are always asking a writer why he does not write like somebody else, or a painter why he does not paint like somebody else, quite oblivious of the fact that if either of them did anything of the kind he would cease to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Oscar Wilde
