More quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only thing I can't resist is temptation.
Oscar Wilde
As for borrowing Mr. Whistler's ideas about art, the only thoroughly original ideas I have heard him express have had reference to his own superiority as a painter over painters greater than himself.
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
The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others.
Oscar Wilde
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
More than half of modern culture depends upon what one shouldn't read.
Oscar Wilde
Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.
Oscar Wilde
The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.
Oscar Wilde
That is the mission of art - to make us pause and look at a thing a second time.
Oscar Wilde
There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.
Oscar Wilde
Progress in thought is the assertion of individualism against authority.
Oscar Wilde
I have a simple taste, only the best.
Oscar Wilde
I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who would call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one.
Oscar Wilde
She behaves as if she was beautiful. Most American women do. It is the secret of their charm.
Oscar Wilde
I have a business appointment that I am anxious... to miss.
Oscar Wilde
It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.
Oscar Wilde
When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.
Oscar Wilde
The burden of this world is too great for one man to bear, and the world’s sorrow too heavy for one heart to suffer.
Oscar Wilde
I have pleasures, and passions, but the joy of life is gone. I am going under: the morgue yawns for me. I go and look at my zinc-bed there. After all, I had a wonderful life, which is, I fear, over.
Oscar Wilde
Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Oscar Wilde
