More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
I think you are wrong, Basil, but I won't argue with you. It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.
Oscar Wilde
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it
Oscar Wilde
Though of all poses a moral pose is the most offensive, still to have a pose at all is something.
Oscar Wilde
It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The 19thc hatred of Realism is Caliban's enraged reaction to seeing his own face in the mirror. The 19thc rejection of Romanticism is Caliban's fury at not seeing his face reflected in the mirror.
Oscar Wilde
I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, no doubt the cod is a splendid swimmer - admirable for swimming purposes but not for eating.
Oscar Wilde
A flower blossoms for its own joy.
Oscar Wilde
The Lord's Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1.322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26.911 words. The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
A mutual misunderstanding.
Oscar Wilde
Art only begins where Imitation ends.
Oscar Wilde
