More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
You shut out from your society the gentle and the good. You laugh at the simple and the pure. living, as you all do, on other and by them, you need at self-sacrifice, and if you throw bread to the poor, it is merely to keep them quiet for a season.
Oscar Wilde

Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Each of us has heaven and hell in him.
Oscar Wilde

Like all people who try to exhaust a subject, he exhausted his listeners.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
Oscar Wilde

I had buried my romance in a bed of asphodel.
Oscar Wilde

I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Man is many things, but he is not rational.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: he is constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all you must not strip it of vitality. You must find it in life and re-create it in art.
Oscar Wilde

Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
Oscar Wilde
