More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never have happened and couldn't possibly have happened.
Oscar Wilde
I live in terror of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
Wisdom comes with winters
Oscar Wilde
Travel ennobles the spirit and does away with our prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
Oscar Wilde
To be entirely free, and at the same time entirely dominated by law, is the eternal paradox of human life.
Oscar Wilde
Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses - once.
Oscar Wilde
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
Oscar Wilde
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde
The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart—hearts are made to be broken—but that it turns one’s heart to stone.
Oscar Wilde
Through our sunless lanes creeps Poverty with her hungry eyes, and Sin with his sodden face follows close behind her. Misery wakes us in the morning and Shame sits with us at night.
Oscar Wilde
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar
Oscar Wilde
To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.
Oscar Wilde
Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.
Oscar Wilde
Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
There is something very morbid about modern sympathy with pain.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
