More quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is not the prisoners who need reformation, it is the prisons.
Oscar Wilde
An acquaintance that begins with a compliment is sure to develop into a real friendship.
Oscar Wilde
However, I think anything is better than high intellectual pressure. That is the most unbecoming thing there is. It makes the noses of the young girls so particularly large.
Oscar Wilde
Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde
Medievalism, with its saints and martyrs, its love of self-torture, its wild passion for wounding itself, its gashing with knives, and its whipping with rods - Medievalism is real Christianity, and the medieval Christ is the real Christ.
Oscar Wilde
Let me be dressed as I will, yet flies worms and flowers exceed me still.
Oscar Wilde
Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live.
Oscar Wilde
Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only faith, but on one side only devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.
Oscar Wilde
memory, like a horrible malady, was eating his soul away
Oscar Wilde
All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.
Oscar Wilde
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde
Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realized by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good.
Oscar Wilde
Sins of the flesh are nothing. They are maladies for physicians to cure, if they should be cured. Sins of the soul alone are shameful.
Oscar Wilde
To toil for a hard master is bitter, but to have no master to toil for is more bitter still.
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
A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten.
Oscar Wilde
She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.
Oscar Wilde
Everyone should keep someone else's diary.
Oscar Wilde
It is only very ugly or very beautiful women who ever hide their faces .
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. We all have clouds above us but some see their silver linings. We all face difficulties but some of us are grateful that they aren't worse.
Oscar Wilde
