More quotes by Oscar Wilde
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
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
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people.... The Japanese people are ... simply a mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.
Oscar Wilde
I can't stand people that do not take food seriously.
Oscar Wilde
Philosophy is like a normal personal organizer, but it's smaller than a matchbox.
Oscar Wilde
An opinion is not necesarily correct just because you're willing to die for it.
Oscar Wilde
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
Oscar Wilde
A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.
Oscar Wilde
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .
Oscar Wilde
Poor? What does that matter? When poverty creeps in at the door, love flies in through the window.
Oscar Wilde
A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.
Oscar Wilde
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious.
Oscar Wilde
Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.
Oscar Wilde
The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
Oscar Wilde
Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism.
Oscar Wilde
If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.
Oscar Wilde
A beggar hates his benefactor as much as he hates himself for begging.
Oscar Wilde
It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.
Oscar Wilde
