The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only proper intoxication is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit touch it and the bloom is gone.
Oscar Wilde
Image
My wish isn't to mean everything to everyone but something to someone.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.
Oscar Wilde

It is personalities not principles that move the age.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Work is the curse of the drinking class. I can resist everything except temptation. Moderation is a fatal thing - nothing succeeds like excess. We are all of us in the gutter. But some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde

In the old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away. Sometimes this was the effect of art, and chiefly of the art of literature, which dealt immediately with the passions and the intellect.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The youth of the present day are quite monstrous. They have absolutely no respect for dyed hair.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To be popular one must be a mediocrity.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Some cause happiness wherever they go others, whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The only horrible thing in the world is ennui.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.
Oscar Wilde

With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stockbroker, can gain a reputation for being civilized
