Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob.
Oscar Wilde
Image
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
Image
At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world. What difference is there between a glass of absinthe and a sunset?
Oscar Wilde
Image
...The two great turning-points of my life were when my father sent to Oxford, and when society sent me to prison.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The problem with the common person is that he is so unbearably common!
Oscar Wilde
Image
I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
Oscar Wilde
Image
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Image
the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.
Oscar Wilde
Image
In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.

Image
Do you really keep a diary? I'd give anything to look at it. May I? Oh, no. You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Greek dress was in its essence inartistic. Nothing should reveal the body but the body.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The sin was mine I did not understand. So now is music prisoned in her cave, Save where some ebbing desultory wave Frets with its restless whirls this meagre strand.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Millionaire models are rare enough but model millionaires are rarer still!
Oscar Wilde
Image
Shakespeare might have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the white streets of London, or seen the serving-men of rival houses bite their thumbs at each other in the open square but Hamlet came out of his soul, and Romeo out of his passion.

Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.
