More quotes by Oscar Wilde
She had a passion for secrecy, but she herself was merely a Sphinx without a secret.
Oscar Wilde
If only the picture could grow old, and I stay young. For that...for that, I would give my SOUL for that.
Oscar Wilde
Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Oscar Wilde
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity the misfortunes of others.
Oscar Wilde
I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
Oscar Wilde
There is no man who is not, at each moment, what he has been and what he will be.
Oscar Wilde
The proper school to learn art is not life but art
Oscar Wilde
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
Oscar Wilde
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
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
Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207
Oscar Wilde
The evolution of man is slow. The injustice of men is great.
Oscar Wilde
A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.
Oscar Wilde
I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience.
Oscar Wilde
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Oscar Wilde
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Oscar Wilde
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Oscar Wilde
When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale. A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.
Oscar Wilde
