More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.
Oscar Wilde
Sometime you will find, even as I have found, that there is no such thing as romantic experience there are romantic memories, and there is the desire of romance- that is all. Our most fiery moments of ecstasy are merely shadows of what somewhere else we have felt, or of what we long someday to feel
Oscar Wilde
I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.
Oscar Wilde
Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Oscar Wilde
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
People fashion their God after their own understanding. They make their God first and worship him afterwards.
Oscar Wilde
If you cannot write well, you cannot think well if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.
Oscar Wilde
Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
Oscar Wilde
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde
Pray don't talk to me about the weather, Mr. Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me quite nervous.
Oscar Wilde
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
Oscar Wilde
It would leave no room for developments and I intend to develop in many directions.
Oscar Wilde
I'm so smart, I read and understand Hegel
Oscar Wilde
An opinion is not necesarily correct just because you're willing to die for it.
Oscar Wilde
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
I made your sorrow mine also, that you might have help in bearing it.
Oscar Wilde
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
Oscar Wilde
The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
I love hearing my relations abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die.
Oscar Wilde
