More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The weather still continues charming.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Love will fly if held too lightly Love will die if held too tightly . . .
Oscar Wilde
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
The British cook, for her iniquities, is a foolish woman who should be turned into a pillar of salt which she never knows how to use.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible.
Oscar Wilde
As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognize the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.
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
George Moore leads his readers to the latrine and locks them in.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Oscar Wilde
Though of all poses a moral pose is the most offensive, still to have a pose at all is something.
Oscar Wilde
Children begin by loving their parents after a time they judge them rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.
Oscar Wilde
I won't belong to a club that accepts me as a member
Oscar Wilde
The one charm of the past is that it is the past.
Oscar Wilde
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them.
Oscar Wilde
