Personality must be accepted for what it is. You mustn't mind that a poet is a drunk, rather that drunks are not always poets.

More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see life as a whole, by which and by which alone we can understand others in their real and their ideal relation. Only what is fine, and finely conceived can feed love. But anything will feed hate.
Oscar Wilde
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Oscar Wilde
You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
The quivering, ardent sunlight showed him the lines of cruelty round the mouth as clearly as if he had been looking into a mirror after he had done some dreadful thing.
Oscar Wilde
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Oscar Wilde
The last person who ever crossed me is dead under my bed!!!
Oscar Wilde
I beg your pardon I didn't recognise you - I've changed a lot.
Oscar Wilde
The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.
Oscar Wilde
Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.
Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Oscar Wilde
Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde
What the hell is an oboe?
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
