More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
Alone, and without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized.
Oscar Wilde
Image
God, bless me with luxury. Necessities I can do without.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What a fuss people make about fidelity! exclaimed Lord Henry. Why, even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.
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
Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
You might see nothing in him. I see everything in him.
Oscar Wilde
Image
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
Image
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
Image
He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I was dominated, soul, brain, and power by you. You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
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
