More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
Art only begins where Imitation ends.
Oscar Wilde
Books are never finished, They are merely abandoned.
Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
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
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it
Oscar Wilde
Work is the curse of the drinking class. I can resist everything except temptation. Moderation is a fatal thing - nothing succeeds like excess. We are all of us in the gutter. But some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard Some do it with a bitter look Some with a flattering word The coward does it with a kiss The brave man with a sword
Oscar Wilde
We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
Oscar Wilde
Women have a much better time than men in this world there are far more things forbidden to them.
Oscar Wilde
I would not a bit mind sleeping in the cool grass in summer, and when winter came on sheltering myself by the warm close-thatched rick, or under the penthouse of a great barn, provided I had love in my heart.
Oscar Wilde
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
Oscar Wilde
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Hatred is blind, as well as love.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Travel ennobles the spirit and does away with our prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
