More quotes by 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
She is a peacock in everything but beauty!
Oscar Wilde
Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.
Oscar Wilde
My writing has gone to bits - like my character. I am simply a self-conscious nerve in pain.
Oscar Wilde
A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I hate the cheap severity of abstract ethics!
Oscar Wilde
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
Oscar Wilde
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Oscar Wilde
The only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
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
I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde
It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
Sometimes it takes courage to give into temptation.
Oscar Wilde
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
Oscar Wilde
