Image
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.
Oscar Wilde

There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

Each little thing that we do passes into the great machine of life which may grind our virtues to powder and make them worthless, or transform our sins into elements of a new civilization, more marvelous and more splendid than any that has gone before.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I love the French language... it's a delightful language, especially to curse with. It's like whopping your ass with silk.

Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.

Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
Oscar Wilde

The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.
Oscar Wilde

No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde

Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.
