More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Music is the art... which most completely realizes the artistic idea and is the condition to which all the other arts are constantly aspiring.
Oscar Wilde
There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob all authority is equally bad.
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
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
It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.
Oscar Wilde
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Oscar Wilde
But what world says that [I'm wicked]? It can only be the next world. This world and I are on excellent terms.
Oscar Wilde
A mask tells us more than a face.
Oscar Wilde
Be moderate in all things, including moderation.
Oscar Wilde
He who stands most remote from his age is he who mirrors it best.
Oscar Wilde
The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered.
Oscar Wilde
The trouble with the lower classes is that they lack the sense of tragedy given to them by the upper classes.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
Oscar Wilde
I'm so smart, I read and understand Hegel
Oscar Wilde
Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never have happened and couldn't possibly have happened.
Oscar Wilde
Know thyself' was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, 'Be thyself' shall be written.
Oscar Wilde
Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing I can't resist is temptation.
Oscar Wilde
