More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.
Oscar Wilde
To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Wisdom comes with winters
Oscar Wilde
The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married.
Oscar Wilde
Travel ennobles the spirit and does away with our prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
I should have remembered that when one is going to lead an entirely new life, one requires regular and wholesome meals.
Oscar Wilde
I have pleasures, and passions, but the joy of life is gone. I am going under: the morgue yawns for me. I go and look at my zinc-bed there. After all, I had a wonderful life, which is, I fear, over.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are too important to be taken seriously.
Oscar Wilde
Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.
Oscar Wilde
Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?
Oscar Wilde
Finding the meaning of life is easy. Simply get a dictionary, go to the 'L' section, and find the word 'life.'
Oscar Wilde
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
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
As for modern journalism, it is not my business to defend it. It justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.
Oscar Wilde
A mask tells us more than a face.
Oscar Wilde
We live, I regret to say, in an age of Big Data hype.
Oscar Wilde
