It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly.
Oscar Wilde
Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
Oscar Wilde
America is the noisiest country that ever existed. One is waked up in the morning, not by the singing of the nightingale, but by the steam whistle.
Oscar Wilde
At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.
Oscar Wilde
sorrow...is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of love touches it
Oscar Wilde
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
America is one long expectoration.
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
Oscar Wilde
