More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Do not forget that small daily actions do or undo character.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
The gods bestowed on Max [Beerbohm] the gift of perpetual old age.
Oscar Wilde
A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.
Oscar Wilde
If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It is simply expression that gives reality to things.
Oscar Wilde
As for modern journalism, it is not my business to defend it. It justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.
Oscar Wilde
It is perfectly possible to get what you think you want and be miserable. It's possible too, to never get it but deeply enjoy the process of trying. In this world, there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Oscar Wilde
I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.
Oscar Wilde
After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.
Oscar Wilde
I never read a book I must review it prejudices you so.
Oscar Wilde
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
Oscar Wilde
Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only faith, but on one side only devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.
Oscar Wilde
We Irish will never achieve anything but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks
Oscar Wilde
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
Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.
Oscar Wilde
The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value.
Oscar Wilde
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
Oscar Wilde
A man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it.
Oscar Wilde
When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.
Oscar Wilde
The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is the aim of conversation, and is a far more civilized being than the blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is told simply for the amusement of the company.
Oscar Wilde
