More quotes by Oscar Wilde
When people talk to me about the weather, I always feel they mean something else.
Oscar Wilde
I made your sorrow mine also, that you might have help in bearing it.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde
I wonder that no criminal has ever pleaded the ugliness of your city as an excuse for his crimes.
Oscar Wilde
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
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
Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable
Oscar Wilde
Personality must be accepted for what it is. You mustn't mind that a poet is a drunk, rather that drunks are not always poets.
Oscar Wilde
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
I was dominated, soul, brain, and power by you. You became to me the visible incarnation of that unseen ideal whose memory haunts us artists like an exquisite dream.
Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.
Oscar Wilde
Shakespeare might have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the white streets of London, or seen the serving-men of rival houses bite their thumbs at each other in the open square but Hamlet came out of his soul, and Romeo out of his passion.
Oscar Wilde
Just as the philanthropist is the nuisance of the ethical sphere, so the nuisance of the intellectual sphere is the man who is so occupied in trying to educate others, that he has never had any time to educate himself.
Oscar Wilde
The English country-gentleman galloping after a fox — the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.
Oscar Wilde
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.
Oscar Wilde
The Lord's Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1.322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26.911 words. The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
