Oscar Wilde
We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.

Oscar Wilde
The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Aestheticism is a search after the signs of the beautiful. It is the science of the beautiful through which men seek the correlation of the arts. It is, to speak more exactly, the search after the secret of life.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
I find it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue china.
Oscar Wilde
Education is very admirable but let us not forget that anything worth knowing cannot be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
Oscar Wilde
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
I should have remembered that when one is going to lead an entirely new life, one requires regular and wholesome meals.
Oscar Wilde
The best work in literature is always done by those who do not depend on it for their daily bread and the highest form of literature, Poetry, brings no wealth to the singer.
Oscar Wilde
Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much
Oscar Wilde
