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
My dear fellow, the truth isn’t quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman!
Oscar Wilde
There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.
Oscar Wilde
And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine Burned like the ruby fire set In the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine, Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate, Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.
Oscar Wilde
Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world.
Oscar Wilde
There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
Oscar Wilde
Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob.
Oscar Wilde
