More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
You know I have loved him always. But we are very poor. Who, being loved, is poor? Oh, no one. I hate my riches. They are a burden.
Oscar Wilde
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
Oscar Wilde
The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others.
Oscar Wilde
Where your life leads you, you must go
Oscar Wilde
Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.
