More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
A mutual misunderstanding.
Oscar Wilde
Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
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
The emotions of man are stirred more quickly than man’s intelligence.
Oscar Wilde
We Irish will never achieve anything but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks
Oscar Wilde
What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.
Oscar Wilde
Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
Every thing to be true must become a religion.
Oscar Wilde
Every American bride is taken there [Niagara Falls], and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.
Oscar Wilde
We become lovers when we see Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet makes us students. The blood of Duncan is upon our hands, with Timon werage against the world, and when Lear wanders out upon the heath the terror of madness touches us. Ours is the white sinlessness of Desdemona, and ours, also, the sin of Iago.
Oscar Wilde
Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
Oscar Wilde
I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing.
Oscar Wilde
An acquaintance that begins with a compliment is sure to develop into a real friendship.
Oscar Wilde
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
