More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Placerea este testul naturii, semnul ei aprobator.
Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating - people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.
Oscar Wilde
Dammit Sir, it's your duty to get married. You can't always be living for pleasure!
Oscar Wilde
After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
Oscar Wilde
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I have a business appointment that I am anxious... to miss.
Oscar Wilde
In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich makes slaves of the poor.
Oscar Wilde
Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.
Oscar Wilde
Divorces are made in heaven.
Oscar Wilde
To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.
Oscar Wilde
And now, I am dying beyond my means. (Said while sipping champagne on his deathbed.)
Oscar Wilde
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob.
Oscar Wilde
memory, like a horrible malady, was eating his soul away
Oscar Wilde
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.
Oscar Wilde
There are few things easier than to live badly and die well.
Oscar Wilde
I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art.
Oscar Wilde
