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.

Oscar Wilde
History is only gossip.
Oscar Wilde
I am Irish by race but the English have condemned me to talk the language of Shakespeare.
Oscar Wilde
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
Its a beautiful woman's fate to be the subject of conversation where ever she goes
Oscar Wilde
I live constantly in the fear of not being misunderstood.
Oscar Wilde
One has a right to judge a man by the effect he has over his friends.
Oscar Wilde
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect - simply a confession of failures.
Oscar Wilde
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there.
Oscar Wilde
Bad art is a great deal worse than no art at all.
Oscar Wilde
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar Wilde
The world has been made by fools that wise men may live in it.
Oscar Wilde
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.
Oscar Wilde
To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
Oscar Wilde
Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world.
Oscar Wilde
A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure.
Oscar Wilde
I am a man of simple pleasures. The best suits me perfectly.
Oscar Wilde
Truth is independent of facts always.
Oscar Wilde
Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor.
Oscar Wilde
At six o'clock we cleaned our cells, At seven all was still, But the sough and swing of a mighty wing The prison seemed to fill, For the Lord of Death with icy breath Had entered in to kill.
Oscar Wilde
