More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
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
Image
Any place you love is the world to you.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Prayer must never be answered: if it is, it ceases to be prayer and becomes correspondence.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Find expression for a sorrow, and it will become dear to you. Find expression for a joy, and you will intensify its ecstasy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
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
A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Nothing is so aggravating as calmness. There is something positively brutal about the good temper of most modern men.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only sin is stupidity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What the hell is an oboe?
Oscar Wilde
Image
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
