More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
He knew the precise psychological moment when to say nothing.
Oscar Wilde
I gave my genius to my life, but my talent to my art.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I must say to myself that I ruined myself, and that nobody great or small can be ruined except by his own hand. I am quite ready to say so. ... Terrible as was what the world did to me, what I did to myself was far more terrible still.
Oscar Wilde
All love is true, but not all truth ... is love?
Oscar Wilde
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
Oscar Wilde
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity the misfortunes of others.
Oscar Wilde
It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.
Oscar Wilde
