More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world. What difference is there between a glass of absinthe and a sunset?
Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
Oscar Wilde
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid
Oscar Wilde
It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.
Oscar Wilde
More than half of modern culture depends upon what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed.
Oscar Wilde
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
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
His style is chaos illumined by flashes of lightning. As a writer he has mastered everything except language.
Oscar Wilde
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
Oscar Wilde
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Oscar Wilde
Artists reproduce themselves or each other, with wearisome iteration. But criticism is always moving on, and the critic is always developing.
Oscar Wilde
Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.
Oscar Wilde
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Oscar Wilde
What you really are is a Bunburyist. I was quite right in saying you were a Bunburyist. You are one of the most advanced Bunburyists I know.
Oscar Wilde
