More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I love hearing my relations abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die.
Oscar Wilde
I analyzed you, though you did not adore me.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.
Oscar Wilde
one pale woman all alone, The daylight kissing her wan hair, Loitered beneath the gas lamps' flare, With lips of flame and heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar
Oscar Wilde
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of herself. -Author Unknown As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise for which we are later, in the fullness of time and understanding, very grateful for!
Oscar Wilde
He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about.
Oscar Wilde
A woman will flirt with anybody in the world as long as other people are looking on.
Oscar Wilde
God grant me the serenity to accept that people are ignorant, the courage to uphold the law when I'm hostile, & the wisdom to realize that murder is illegal.
Oscar Wilde
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered.
Oscar Wilde
In the old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press.
Oscar Wilde
If a woman wants to hold a man she has merely to appeal to what is worst in him.
Oscar Wilde
An opinion is not necesarily correct just because you're willing to die for it.
Oscar Wilde
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
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized.
Oscar Wilde
The only possible form of exercise is to talk, not to walk.
Oscar Wilde
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.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
