Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
Oscar Wilde
Circumstances should never alter principles!
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Oscar Wilde
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
The one charm about the past is that it is the past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen.
Oscar Wilde
As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognize the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.
Oscar Wilde
Music is the perfect type of art.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut the pessimist the hole!
Oscar Wilde
I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question - simple curiosity.
Oscar Wilde
Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.
Oscar Wilde
Art should never be popular.
Oscar Wilde
A man who takes himself too seriously will find that no one else takes him seriously.
Oscar Wilde
I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my leaving prison both the laburnum and the lilac will be blooming in the gardens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes, so that all the air shall be Arabia for me.
Oscar Wilde
A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
Oscar Wilde
