More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The secret to life is to enjoy the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived.
Oscar Wilde
It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.
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
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
I made your sorrow mine also, that you might have help in bearing it.
Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
Love will fly if held too lightly Love will die if held too tightly . . .
Oscar Wilde
If it took Labouchere three columns to prove that I was forgotten, then there is no difference between fame and obscurity.
Oscar Wilde
How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?
Oscar Wilde
She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.
Oscar Wilde
The key to making up Oscar Wilde quotes is to add '~ Oscar Wilde' at the end.
Oscar Wilde
Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things.
Oscar Wilde
The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happy married life.
Oscar Wilde
Sometime you will find, even as I have found, that there is no such thing as romantic experience there are romantic memories, and there is the desire of romance- that is all. Our most fiery moments of ecstasy are merely shadows of what somewhere else we have felt, or of what we long someday to feel
Oscar Wilde
One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.
Oscar Wilde
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Oscar Wilde
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
Oscar Wilde
I have a simple taste, only the best.
Oscar Wilde
The vilest deeds like poison weeds Bloom well in prison air It is only what is good in man That wastes and withers there.
Oscar Wilde
I forget what killed it. I think it was her proposing to sacrifice the whole world for me. That is always a dreadful moment. It fills one with the terror of eternity.
Oscar Wilde
