Oscar Wilde
One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
There are only two kinds of women, the plain and the coloured.
Oscar Wilde
The Lord's Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1.322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26.911 words. The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
Oscar Wilde
There is only good art and mediocre art.
Oscar Wilde
In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich makes slaves of the poor.
Oscar Wilde
St. Paul's Loomed like a bubble o'er the town.
Oscar Wilde
