More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Anybody can sympathise with all the sufferings of the pal, nevertheless it involves an extremely great mother nature to sympathise by using a friend's achievement.
Oscar Wilde
Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.
Oscar Wilde
Because sometimes you have to do something bad to do something good.
Oscar Wilde
Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.
Oscar Wilde
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Oscar Wilde
The problem with the common person is that he is so unbearably common!
Oscar Wilde
Some cause happiness wherever they go others, whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde
God and other artists are always a little obscure.
Oscar Wilde
The true artist is known by what he annexes, and he annexes everything.
Oscar Wilde
Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
Oscar Wilde
Artists, like the Greek gods, are only revealed to one another.
Oscar Wilde
I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
Oscar Wilde
All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and it degrades those over whom it is exercised.
Oscar Wilde
We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.
Oscar Wilde
Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.
Oscar Wilde
Find expression for a sorrow, and it will become dear to you. Find expression for a joy, and you will intensify its ecstasy.
Oscar Wilde
I forget what killed it. I think it was her proposing to sacrifice the whole world for me. That is always a dreadful moment. It fills one with the terror of eternity.
Oscar Wilde
