More quotes by Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
Oscar Wilde
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.
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
I have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful.
Oscar Wilde
I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.
Oscar Wilde
The only beautiful things are the things that do not concern us.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Oscar Wilde
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Oscar Wilde
And the marvellous rose became crimson, like the rose of the eastern sky. Crimson was the girdle of petals, and crimson as a ruby was the heart
Oscar Wilde
I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
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
An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant as the case may be.
Oscar Wilde
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I don’t care about Jack. I don’t care for anybody in the whole world but you. I love you, Cecily. You will marry me, won’t you? You silly boy! Of course. Why, we have been engaged for the last three months. For the last three months?
Oscar Wilde
I live in terror of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
