More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A mutual misunderstanding.
Oscar Wilde
The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
Oscar Wilde
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
Be yourself everyone else is taken.
Oscar Wilde
Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
Oscar Wilde
The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.
Oscar Wilde
Success is a science if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar Wilde
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
Oscar Wilde
We spend our days, each one of us, in looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in Art.
Oscar Wilde
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Oscar Wilde
There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.
Oscar Wilde
The only beautiful things are the things that do not concern us.
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
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde
I often take exercise. Why only yesterday I had breakfast in bed.
Oscar Wilde
Poets know how useful passion is for publication. Nowadays a broken heart will run to many editions.
Oscar Wilde
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
I have a business appointment that I am anxious... to miss.
Oscar Wilde
She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
Oscar Wilde
