More quotes by Oscar Wilde
In art, the public accept what has been, because they cannot alter it, not because they appreciate it. They swallow their classics whole, and never taste them.
Oscar Wilde
That is the mission of art - to make us pause and look at a thing a second time.
Oscar Wilde
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
They get up early, because they have so much to do, and go to bed early, because they have so little to think about.
Oscar Wilde
I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.
Oscar Wilde
If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.
Oscar Wilde
Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.
Oscar Wilde
Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
Oscar Wilde
If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly.
Oscar Wilde
Oh, I don’t care about Jack. I don’t care for anybody in the whole world but you. I love you, Cecily. You will marry me, won’t you? You silly boy! Of course. Why, we have been engaged for the last three months. For the last three months?
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
Oscar Wilde
Tread Lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.
Oscar Wilde
Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.
Oscar Wilde
The beautiful, passionate, ruined South, the land of magnolias and music, of roses and romance . . . living on the memory of crushing defeats
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
Oscar Wilde
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
Oscar Wilde
It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.
Oscar Wilde
