My dear Algy, you talk exactly as if you were a dentist. It is very vulgar to talk like a dentist when one isn't a dentist. It produces false impression

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Lady Bracknell. Good afternoo...

Lady Bracknell. Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well. Algernon. I’m feeling very well, Aunt Augusta. Lady Bracknell. That’s not quite the same thing. In fact the two things rarely go together.

Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs.

I've now realised for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest.

A man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There was something terribly ...

There was something terribly enthralling in the exercise of influence. No other activity was like it. To project one's soul into some gracious form, and let it tarry there for a moment; to hear one's own intellectual views echoed back to one with all the added music of passion and youth; to convey one's temperament into another as though it were a subtle fluid or a strange perfume: there was a real joy in that - perhaps the most satisfying joy left to us in an age so limited and vulgar as our own, an age grossly carnal in its pleasures, and grossly common in its aims.

Only love can keep anyone alive.

Set in this stormy Northern sea, Queen of these restless fields of tide, England! what shall men say of thee, Before whose feet the worlds divide?

Full frontal nudity is reserved for Adam and Eve!

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question - simple curiosity.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

She doth mean the earth to me! By earth, I actually mean dust.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Any preoccupation with ideas ...

Any preoccupation with ideas of what is right or wrong in conduct shows an arrested intellectual development.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

And once, or twice, to throw the dice is a gentlemanly game, But he does not win who plays with Sin in the secret house of shame

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

In England people actually try to be brilliant at breakfast. That is so dreadful of them! Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.

Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women. It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it.

At six o'clock we cleaned our cells,
At seven all was still,
But the sough and swing of a mighty wing
The prison seemed to fill,
For the Lord of Death with icy breath
Had entered in to kill.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Nature is a wet place where large numbers of ducks fly overhead uncooked.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

It is in the brain, and the b...

It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. You, Mr. Gray, you yourself, with yourrose-red youth and your rose-white boyhood, you have had passions that have made you afraid, thoughts that have filled you with terror, day-dreams and sleeping dreams whose mere memory might stain your cheek with shame.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

LADY BRACKNELL: Do you smoke? JACK: Well, yes, I must admit I smoke. LADY BRACKNELL: I'm glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind.
