More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Oh, I hate the cheap severity of abstract ethics!
Oscar Wilde
Image
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Do not forget that small daily actions do or undo character.
Oscar Wilde
Image
One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.
Oscar Wilde
Image
That is the mission of art - to make us pause and look at a thing a second time.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Oscar Wilde

Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.

Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have never met any really wicked person before. I feel rather frightened. I am so afraid he will look just like every one else.
Oscar Wilde
Image
For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The camera, you know, will never capture you. Photography, in my experience, has the miraculous power of transferring wine into water.
Oscar Wilde
Image
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every man of ambition has to fight his century with its own weapons. What this century worships is wealth. The God of this century is wealth. To succeed one must have wealth. At all costs one must have wealth.
Oscar Wilde

There is only good art and mediocre art.
