Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art.
Oscar Wilde
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde
It would leave no room for developments and I intend to develop in many directions.
Oscar Wilde
She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.
Oscar Wilde
The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing at all.
Oscar Wilde
I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.
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
