More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion-these are the two things that govern us.
Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
Charity creates a multitude of sins.
Oscar Wilde
Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness.
Oscar Wilde
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
Oscar Wilde
The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature's lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary monotony, her absolutely unfinished condition.
Oscar Wilde
The only horrible thing in the world is ennui.
Oscar Wilde
A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten.
Oscar Wilde
Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, And bound with bars lest Christ should see How men their brothers maim.
Oscar Wilde
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
Oscar Wilde
The truth about the life of a man is not what he does, but the legend which he creates around himself.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that you have been listening to the conversation of someone older than yourself. That is always a dangerous thing to do, and if you allow it to degenerate into a habit, you will find it absolutely fatal to any intellectual development.
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret.
Oscar Wilde
I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?
Oscar Wilde
For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.
Oscar Wilde
Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out.
Oscar Wilde
For, try as we may, we cannot get behind the appearence of things to reality. And the terrible reason may be that there is no reality in the things apart from their appearences.
Oscar Wilde
