If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Success is a science if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar Wilde
Image
She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb.

Image
Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
Oscar Wilde

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Mothers, of course, are all right. They pay a chap's bills and don't bother him. But fathers bother a chap and never pay his bills.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
Image
Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
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
A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbor with those virtues that are likely to benefit ourselves. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets.
Oscar Wilde
