Image
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Early in life she had discovered the important truth that nothing looks so like innocence as an indiscretion and by a series of reckless escapades, half of them quite harmless, she had acquired all the privileges of a personality.
Oscar Wilde
Image
If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Tread Lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The wild Bee reels from bough to bough With his furry coat and his gauzy wing, Now in a lily cup, and now Setting a jacinth bell a-swing, In his wandering.
Oscar Wilde

Don't feed the trolls nothing fuels them so much.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them.
Oscar Wilde
Image
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is no such thing as a heterosexual male, only men who haven't met Oscar Wilde yet.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Varnishing is the only artistic process with which Royal Academicians are thoroughly familiar.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Every woman is a rebel.
Oscar Wilde
Image
My dear Arthur, I never talk scandal. I only talk gossip. What is the difference between scandal and gossip? Oh! Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Perhaps one never seems so much at ones ease as when one has to play a part.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Just as the orator marks his good things by a dramatic pause, or by raising and lowering his voice, or by gesture, so the writer marks his epigrams with italics, setting the little gem, so to speak, like a jeweler.
Oscar Wilde
Image
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
Image
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit touch it and the bloom is gone.
Oscar Wilde
