Bad manners make a journalist.
Oscar Wilde
Rich bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.
Oscar Wilde
Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: he is constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all you must not strip it of vitality. You must find it in life and re-create it in art.
Oscar Wilde
Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard Some do it with a bitter look Some with a flattering word The coward does it with a kiss The brave man with a sword
Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
Oscar Wilde
I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips
Oscar Wilde
We in the House of Lords are never in touch with public opinion. That makes us a civilised body.
Oscar Wilde
Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut the pessimist the hole!
Oscar Wilde
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.
Oscar Wilde
Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses.
Oscar Wilde
It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection Through Art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
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
