More quotes by Oscar Wilde
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
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
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 old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Oscar Wilde
Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Oscar Wilde
The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
Oscar Wilde
It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection Through Art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.
Oscar Wilde
To be popular one must be a mediocrity.
Oscar Wilde
Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is wrong until she cries.
Oscar Wilde
The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.
Oscar Wilde
History is merely gossip
Oscar Wilde
God, bless me with luxury. Necessities I can do without.
Oscar Wilde
George Moore leads his readers to the latrine and locks them in.
Oscar Wilde
When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.
Oscar Wilde
Don't give a woman advice one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
Oscar Wilde
I am Irish by race but the English have condemned me to talk the language of Shakespeare.
Oscar Wilde
Her love was trembling in laughter on her lips.
Oscar Wilde
