Just because a man has died for it, does not make it true.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Life has been your art. You ha...

Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I analyzed you, though you did...

I analyzed you, though you did not adore me.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I write because it gives me th...

I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The modern sympathy with inval...

The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

To exercise power costs effort...

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

And all the woods are alive wi...

And all the woods are alive with the murmur and sound of Spring,
And the rose-bud breaks into pink on the climbing briar,
And the crocus-bed is a quivering moon of fire
Girdled round with the belt of an amethyst ring.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Do not be afraid of the past. ...

Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Suffering is one very long mom...

Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

For us there is only one seaso...

For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow. The very sun and moon seem taken from us.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There is nothing that stirs in...

There is nothing that stirs in the whole world of thought to which sorrow does not vibrate in terrible and exquisite pulsation.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I now see that sorrow, being t...

I now see that sorrow, being the supreme emotion of which man is capable, is at once the type and test of all great art.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There are times when sorrow seems to me to be the only truth.

Nothing worth knowing can be taught.

It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind. -Algernon

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

All bad poetry springs from ge...

All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

What art seeks to disturb is m...

What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The British cook, for her iniquities, is a foolish woman who should be turned into a pillar of salt which she never knows how to use.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Work is the curse of the drink...

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.
