More quotes by Oscar Wilde
A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten.
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
Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Oscar Wilde
I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar Wilde
Liberty is the chosen resort of the artistic shopper.
Oscar Wilde
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.
Oscar Wilde
People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Oscar Wilde
He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about.
Oscar Wilde
I like looking at geniuses and listening to beautiful people.
Oscar Wilde
We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.
Oscar Wilde
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
Oscar Wilde
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
Oscar Wilde
She knew nothing, but she had everything that he had lost.
Oscar Wilde
We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
Selfishness is not living your life as you wish to live it. Selfishness is wanting others to live their lives as you wish them to.
Oscar Wilde
When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy.
Oscar Wilde
