The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden. It ends with Revelations.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is chiefly, I regret to say, through journalism that such people find expression. I regret it because there is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Like two doomed ships that pass in storm we had crossed each other's way: but we made no sign, we said no word, we had no word to say.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A grapefruit is just a lemon that saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. You, Mr. Gray, you yourself, with yourrose-red youth and your rose-white boyhood, you have had passions that have made you afraid, thoughts that have filled you with terror, day-dreams and sleeping dreams whose mere memory might stain your cheek with shame.
Oscar Wilde
Image
One should always be in love.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The birds did not understand a single word of what he was saying, but that made no matter, for they put their heads on one side, and looked wise, which is quite as good as understanding a thing, and very much easier.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I didn't have a life until I went up onstage.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not its growth and development.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Through our sunless lanes creeps Poverty with her hungry eyes, and Sin with his sodden face follows close behind her. Misery wakes us in the morning and Shame sits with us at night.
Oscar Wilde
Image
No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question - simple curiosity.
