Image
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.
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
Oscar Wilde
Image

Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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

Oscar Wilde

When a man is old enough to do wrong he should be old enough to do right also.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I am thoroughly sick of pearls. They make one look so plain, so good and so intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not its growth and development.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Two men look out a window. One sees mud, the other sees the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Moderation is a fatal thing. Enough is as bad as a meal. More than enough is as good as a feast.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
Oscar Wilde
Image
As for modern journalism, it is not my business to defend it. It justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.
Oscar Wilde
