Image
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Selfishness is not living your life as you wish to live it. Selfishness is wanting others to live their lives as you wish them to.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing at all.
Oscar Wilde
Image
He would stab his best friend for the sake of writing an epigraph on his tombstone.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. We all have clouds above us but some see their silver linings. We all face difficulties but some of us are grateful that they aren't worse.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature's lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary monotony, her absolutely unfinished condition.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
Each of us has heaven and hell in him.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.
Oscar Wilde
Image
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The true artist is known by what he annexes, and he annexes everything.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Romantic literature is in effect imaginative lying.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Private information is practically the source of every large modern fortune.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
Oscar Wilde
