More quotes by Oscar Wilde
There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time the reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised for the question often arrives a terribly long time after the answer.
Oscar Wilde
To define is to limit.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to repent a sin than regret the loss of a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul.
Oscar Wilde
I was very much disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
Prism! Where is that baby?
Oscar Wilde
But what of life whose bitter hungry sea Flows at our heels, and gloom of sunless night Covers the days which never more return? Ambition, love and all the thoughts that burn We lose too soon, and only find delight In withered husks of some dead memory.
Oscar Wilde
A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.
Oscar Wilde
We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.
Oscar Wilde
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.
Oscar Wilde
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
Oscar Wilde
A community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurence of crime.
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
Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
Temperament is the primary requisite for the critic - a temperament exquisitely susceptible to beauty, and to the various impressions that beauty gives us.
Oscar Wilde
The work of art is to dominate the spectator: the spectator is not to dominate the work of art.
Oscar Wilde
The wild Bee reels from bough to bough With his furry coat and his gauzy wing, Now in a lily cup, and now Setting a jacinth bell a-swing, In his wandering.
Oscar Wilde
