No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Before Turner there was no fog in London.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
Image
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
The longer I live, Dorian, the more keenly I feel that whatever was good enough for our fathers is not good enough for us. In art, as in politics, les grand-pères ont toujours tort.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.
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
There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.
Oscar Wilde

We Irish will never achieve anything but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks

Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
