Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Be moderate in all things, including moderation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualification.
Oscar Wilde
Image
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.
Oscar Wilde
Image
You and I will always be friends. Yet you poisoned me with a book once. I should not forgive that.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I must say to myself that I ruined myself, and that nobody great or small can be ruined except by his own hand. I am quite ready to say so. ... Terrible as was what the world did to me, what I did to myself was far more terrible still.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every American bride is taken there [Niagara Falls], and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Newspapers. . . give us the bald, sordid, disgusting facts of life. They chronicle, with degrading avidity, the sins of the second-rate, and with the conscientiousness of the illiterate give us accurate and prosaic details. . .
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde
Image
Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
