More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Nowadays we are all of us so hard up that the only pleasant things to pay are compliments. They’re the only things we can pay.
Oscar Wilde
He hasn't an enemy in the world, and none of his friend like him.
Oscar Wilde
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
Oscar Wilde
A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.
Oscar Wilde
The only thing I cannot resist is temptation.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
In England it is enough for a man to try and produce any serious, beautiful work to lose all his rights as a citizen.
Oscar Wilde
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
Sooner or later we have all to pay for what we do.
Oscar Wilde
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.
Oscar Wilde
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
Oscar Wilde
Extravagance is the luxury of the poor penury is the luxury of the rich.
Oscar Wilde
In England people actually try to be brilliant at breakfast. That is so dreadful of them! Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.
Oscar Wilde
Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only faith, but on one side only devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.
Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
The final mystery is oneself... Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Oscar Wilde
You can have your secret as long as I have your heart[.]
Oscar Wilde
It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde
