Oscar Wilde
Sphinxes without secrets.
Oscar Wilde
JACK Your duty as a gentleman calls you back. ALGERNON My duty as a gentleman has never interfered with my pleasures in the smallest degree.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Sin is the only real colour element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
To define is to limit.
Oscar Wilde
The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is the aim of conversation, and is a far more civilized being than the blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is told simply for the amusement of the company.
Oscar Wilde
The great events of the world take place in the brain.
Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
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
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.
Oscar Wilde
I now see that sorrow, being the supreme emotion of which man is capable, is at once the type and test of all great art.
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
I gave my genius to my life, but my talent to my art.
Oscar Wilde
