Image
Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The truth is never pure and rarely simple.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is too short to be in a hurry.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I now see that sorrow, being the supreme emotion of which man is capable, is at once the type and test of all great art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
A community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurence of crime.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.
Oscar Wilde
Image
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happy married life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
