Music is the perfect type of art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
For, try as we may, we cannot get behind the appearence of things to reality. And the terrible reason may be that there is no reality in the things apart from their appearences.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.
Oscar Wilde
Image
In England it is enough for a man to try and produce any serious, beautiful work to lose all his rights as a citizen.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Only mediocrities progress. An artist revolves in a cycle of masterpieces, the first of which is no less perfect than the last.
Oscar Wilde
Image
He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .
Oscar Wilde
Image
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither
Oscar Wilde

Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde

It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
