More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
Great passions are for the great of soul, and great events can be seen only by those who are on a level with them
Oscar Wilde
The only thing that can console one for being poor is extravagance.
Oscar Wilde
It is a vulgar error to suppose that America was ever discovered. It was merely detected.
Oscar Wilde
Self-denial is simply a method by which arrests his progress, and self-sacrifice a survival of the mutilation of the savage.
Oscar Wilde
Bad art is a great deal worse than no art at all.
Oscar Wilde
As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.
Oscar Wilde
As for modern journalism, it is not my business to defend it. It justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.
Oscar Wilde
He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage.
Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.
Oscar Wilde
I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.
Oscar Wilde
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Oscar Wilde
I never saw so many well-dressed, well-fed, business-looking Bohemians in my life.
Oscar Wilde
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Oscar Wilde
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
Art, like Nature, has her monsters, things of bestial shape and with hideous voices.
Oscar Wilde
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.
Oscar Wilde
If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.
Oscar Wilde
Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither
Oscar Wilde
