Image
I should have remembered that when one is going to lead an entirely new life, one requires regular and wholesome meals.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Sometime you will find, even as I have found, that there is no such thing as romantic experience there are romantic memories, and there is the desire of romance- that is all. Our most fiery moments of ecstasy are merely shadows of what somewhere else we have felt, or of what we long someday to feel
Oscar Wilde
Image
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Palermo was lovely. The most beautifully situated town in the world - it dreams away its life in the Conca d'Oro, the exquisite valley that lies between two seas. The lemon groves and the orange gardens were entirely perfect.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The best way to appreciate your job is to, is here to stay.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.

As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The job of the critic is to report to us his moods.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
Oscar Wilde
Image
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde

Where your life leads you, you must go
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only beautiful things are the things that do not concern us.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Imagination is imitative-the real innovation lies in criticism.
Oscar Wilde
