More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The quivering, ardent sunlight showed him the lines of cruelty round the mouth as clearly as if he had been looking into a mirror after he had done some dreadful thing.
Oscar Wilde
I am not at all cynical, I have merely got experience, which, however, is very much the same thing.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.
Oscar Wilde
I am very glad I have travelled. Travel improves the mind wonderfully, and does away with all one's prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
I live in terror of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
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
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
God's eternal laws are kind-and break the heart of stone.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.
Oscar Wilde
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
Oscar Wilde
A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.
Oscar Wilde
I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.
Oscar Wilde
Would you be in any way offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
Oscar Wilde
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity the misfortunes of others.
Oscar Wilde
I envy you going to Oxford: it is the most flower-like time of one's life. One sees the shadow of things in silver mirrors. Later on, one sees the Gorgon's head, and one suffers, because it does not turn one to stone.
Oscar Wilde
A man who marries his mistress leaves a vacancy in that position.
Oscar Wilde
The sky was pure opal now.
Oscar Wilde
Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious.
Oscar Wilde
