More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It's the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Oscar Wilde
Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.
Oscar Wilde
For one moment our lives met, our souls touched.
Oscar Wilde
Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.
Oscar Wilde
Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart—hearts are made to be broken—but that it turns one’s heart to stone.
Oscar Wilde
Can they feel, I wonder, those white silent people we call the dead?
Oscar Wilde
I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who would call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
The Number our envious Persons, confirmation our capability.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise
Oscar Wilde
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.
Oscar Wilde
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
Oscar Wilde
One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. ...Art is the most intense mode of Individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of Individualism that the world has known. ...Art is Individualism.
Oscar Wilde
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Oscar Wilde
The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
