More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
One does not see anything until one sees its beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Just as the orator marks his good things by a dramatic pause, or by raising and lowering his voice, or by gesture, so the writer marks his epigrams with italics, setting the little gem, so to speak, like a jeweler.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Genius lasts longer than beauty
Oscar Wilde
Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

Oscar Wilde
I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.
Oscar Wilde
The best work in literature is always done by those who do not depend on it for their daily bread and the highest form of literature, Poetry, brings no wealth to the singer.
Oscar Wilde
What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul.
Oscar Wilde
Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things.
Oscar Wilde
Her trust makes me faithful, her belief makes me good.
Oscar Wilde
