More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
Oscar Wilde
You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
Oscar Wilde
At six o'clock we cleaned our cells, At seven all was still, But the sough and swing of a mighty wing The prison seemed to fill, For the Lord of Death with icy breath Had entered in to kill.
Oscar Wilde
Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know.
Oscar Wilde
Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde
I was disappointed in Niagara - most people must be disappointed in Niagara. Every American bride is taken there, and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.
Oscar Wilde
Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
Oscar Wilde
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
Sins of the flesh are nothing. They are maladies for physicians to cure, if they should be cured. Sins of the soul alone are shameful.
Oscar Wilde
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.
Oscar Wilde
To toil for a hard master is bitter, but to have no master to toil for is more bitter still.
Oscar Wilde
Who is that man over there? I don't know him. What is he doing? Is he a conspirator? Have you searched him? Give him till tomorrow to confess, then hang him! -- hang him!
Oscar Wilde
The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Oscar Wilde
The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.
Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde
