Image
In fact, the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people.... The Japanese people are ... simply a mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The basis of action is lack of imagination. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Art creates an incomparable and unique effect, and, having done so, passes on to other things. Nature, upon the other hand, forgetting that that imitation can be made the sincerest form of insult, keeps on repeating this effect until we all become absolutely wearied of it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If Nature had been comfortable, mankind would never have invented architecture.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Oh, brothers! I don't care for brothers. My elder brother won't die, and my younger brothers seem never to do anything else.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
Image
She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Music is the art... which most completely realizes the artistic idea and is the condition to which all the other arts are constantly aspiring.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Oscar Wilde
Image
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde

I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much
Oscar Wilde
Image
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
She is a peacock in everything but beauty!
