Oscar Wilde
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
At six o'clock we cleaned our cells, At seven all was still, But the sough and swing of a mighty wing The prison seemed to fill, For the Lord of Death with icy breath Had entered in to kill.
Oscar Wilde
Full frontal nudity is reserved for Adam and Eve!
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.

Oscar Wilde
Who is that man over there? I don't know him. What is he doing? Is he a conspirator? Have you searched him? Give him till tomorrow to confess, then hang him! -- hang him!
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The birds did not understand a single word of what he was saying, but that made no matter, for they put their heads on one side, and looked wise, which is quite as good as understanding a thing, and very much easier.
Oscar Wilde
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
I have pleasures, and passions, but the joy of life is gone. I am going under: the morgue yawns for me. I go and look at my zinc-bed there. After all, I had a wonderful life, which is, I fear, over.
Oscar Wilde
