Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Image

Oscar Wilde
Image
There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I never saw so many well-dressed, well-fed, business-looking Bohemians in my life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde

It is the stupid and the ugly who have the best of it in this world
Oscar Wilde
Image
More than half of modern culture depends upon what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
Image
He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Nothing worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is only good art and mediocre art.
Oscar Wilde
