The problem with the common person is that he is so unbearably common!
Oscar Wilde
Image
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Those who have much are often greedy. Those who have little always share.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
Oscar Wilde

Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is usually Judas who writes the biography.
Oscar Wilde

Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, And bound with bars lest Christ should see How men their brothers maim.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I never came across anyone in whom the moral sense was dominant who was not heartless, cruel, vindictive, log-stupid, and entirely lacking in the smallest sense of humanity. Moral people, as they are termed, are simple beasts.
Oscar Wilde

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. You, Mr. Gray, you yourself, with yourrose-red youth and your rose-white boyhood, you have had passions that have made you afraid, thoughts that have filled you with terror, day-dreams and sleeping dreams whose mere memory might stain your cheek with shame.
Oscar Wilde
Image
An acquaintance that begins with a compliment is sure to develop into a real friendship.
Oscar Wilde
Image
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Biography lends to death a new terror.
Oscar Wilde
Image
But we never get back our youth… The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Sooner or later we have all to pay for what we do.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Grass is hard and lumpy and damp, and full of dreadful black insects.
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

The only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
