More quotes by Oscar Wilde
But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.
Oscar Wilde
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion-these are the two things that govern us.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
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
You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
Oscar Wilde
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
We live, I regret to say, in an age of Big Data hype.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
Oscar Wilde
The good we get from art is not what we learn from it it is what we become through it.
Oscar Wilde
The worst thing to do with success, is to boast about it.
Oscar Wilde
The secret to life is to enjoy the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.
Oscar Wilde
Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
Oscar Wilde
All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
