More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A mutual misunderstanding.
Oscar Wilde
The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde
Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.
Oscar Wilde
True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise for which we are later, in the fullness of time and understanding, very grateful for!
Oscar Wilde
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.
Oscar Wilde
Mr. Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty.
Oscar Wilde
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
Whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
Oscar Wilde
Through our sunless lanes creeps Poverty with her hungry eyes, and Sin with his sodden face follows close behind her. Misery wakes us in the morning and Shame sits with us at night.
Oscar Wilde
I analyzed you, though you did not adore me.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
Oscar Wilde
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
The reason we are so pleased to find other people's secrets is that it distracts public attention from our own.
Oscar Wilde
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
Oscar Wilde
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
