More quotes by Oscar Wilde

Image
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Oscar Wilde
Image
They get up early, because they have so much to do, and go to bed early, because they have so little to think about.
Oscar Wilde
Image
A woman will flirt with anybody in the world as long as other people are looking on.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees in the garden of the world… And so, indeed, I went out, and so I lived. My only mistake was that I confined myself so exclusively to the trees of what seemed to me the sun-lit side of the garden, and shunned the other side for its shadow and its gloom.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
Image
All love is true, but not all truth ... is love?
Oscar Wilde
Image
Don't tell me that you have exhausted Life. When a man says that, one knows that life has exhausted him.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The unread is always better than the unreadable.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I am thoroughly sick of pearls. They make one look so plain, so good and so intellectual.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
Image
In England ... education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and would probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.
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
Image
Find expression for a sorrow, and it will become dear to you. Find expression for a joy, and you will intensify its ecstasy.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The girl never really lived, and so she has never really died.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it
Oscar Wilde
Image
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
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
And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine Burned like the ruby fire set In the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine, Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate, Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.
Oscar Wilde
