More quotes by Oscar Wilde
You can never be overdressed or overeducated.
Oscar Wilde
Selfishness is not living your life as you wish to live it. Selfishness is wanting others to live their lives as you wish them to.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
You and I will always be friends. Yet you poisoned me with a book once. I should not forgive that.
Oscar Wilde
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I could never quite accustom myself to absinthe, but it suits my style so well
Oscar Wilde
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde
I have never learned anything except from people younger than myself.
Oscar Wilde
Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
Oscar Wilde
It is not the prisoners who need reformation, it is the prisons.
