Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
Oscar Wilde
Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.
Oscar Wilde
America is the noisiest country that ever existed. One is waked up in the morning, not by the singing of the nightingale, but by the steam whistle.
Oscar Wilde
Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.
Oscar Wilde
