More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.
Oscar Wilde

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
No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

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
America is the noisiest country that ever existed. One is waked up in the morning, not by the singing of the nightingale, but by the steam whistle.
Oscar Wilde
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Oscar Wilde
Life is like a box of terrible analogies.
Oscar Wilde
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
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
