More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.
Oscar Wilde
Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.
Oscar Wilde
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde
I walk the world in wonder.
Oscar Wilde
One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.
Oscar Wilde
Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
Oscar Wilde
No gentleman ever has any money.
Oscar Wilde
She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.
Oscar Wilde
The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not its growth and development.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else's diary I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.
Oscar Wilde
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
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
Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
Oscar Wilde
I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not.
Oscar Wilde
They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.
Oscar Wilde
But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.
Oscar Wilde
I have been right, Basil, haven’t I, to take my love out of poetry, and to find my wife in Shakespeare’s plays? Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.
Oscar Wilde
