Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.
Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
Oh, I don’t care about Jack. I don’t care for anybody in the whole world but you. I love you, Cecily. You will marry me, won’t you? You silly boy! Of course. Why, we have been engaged for the last three months. For the last three months?

Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world

Nothing worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde

A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Really, if the lower orders don't set a good example, what on earth is the use of them?
Oscar Wilde
Image
I like looking at geniuses and listening to beautiful people.
Oscar Wilde

Bad artists always admire each others work.
Oscar Wilde

Tread Lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.

A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
