More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Oscar Wilde
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
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
The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
Oscar Wilde
The British cook, for her iniquities, is a foolish woman who should be turned into a pillar of salt which she never knows how to use.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The vilest deeds like poison weeds Bloom well in prison air It is only what is good in man That wastes and withers there.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
Some cause happiness wherever they go others, whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
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
The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language.
Oscar Wilde
I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.
Oscar Wilde
The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
Oscar Wilde
but the bravest man among us is afraid of himself
Oscar Wilde
It is he who has broken the bond of marriage - not I. I only break its bondage.
Oscar Wilde
For, try as we may, we cannot get behind the appearence of things to reality. And the terrible reason may be that there is no reality in the things apart from their appearences.
Oscar Wilde
What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless.
Oscar Wilde
