More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The criminal classes are so close to us that even the policemen can see them.
Oscar Wilde
but the bravest man among us is afraid of himself
Oscar Wilde
I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.
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
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
Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.
Oscar Wilde
Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?
Oscar Wilde
He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise [in the future. But only if we set out to make this true and anticipate it so we look for the blessings until we find them].
Oscar Wilde
I put my talent in my work, I save my Genius for my life.
Oscar Wilde
You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.
Oscar Wilde
His style is chaos illumined by flashes of lightning. As a writer he has mastered everything except language.
Oscar Wilde
Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
Oscar Wilde
Alone, and without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.
Oscar Wilde
The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.
Oscar Wilde
I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde
Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life.
Oscar Wilde
Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking Champagne
Oscar Wilde
To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
