More quotes by Oscar Wilde
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
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.
Oscar Wilde
The sky was pure opal now.
Oscar Wilde
The supreme vice is shallowness.
Oscar Wilde
I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Bore: a man who is never unintentionally rude.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is the only real colour element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.
Oscar Wilde
To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.
Oscar Wilde
However, I think anything is better than high intellectual pressure. That is the most unbecoming thing there is. It makes the noses of the young girls so particularly large.
Oscar Wilde
Prism! Where is that baby?
Oscar Wilde
