A community is infinitely more...

A community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurence of crime.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I expect I shall have to die beyond my means.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Nobody ever commits a crime without doing something stupid.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

On an occasion of this kind it...

On an occasion of this kind it becomes more than a moral duty to speak one's mind. It becomes a pleasure.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The true critic is he who bear...

The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

That is what the highest criti...

That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Don't use big words. They mean...

Don't use big words. They mean so little.

Life would be dull without them.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Beauty is the only thing that ...

Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another like the withered leaves of Autumn; but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.

One's only real life is the life one never leads.

He hadn't a single redeeming vice.

I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

We can have in life but one gr...

We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A beautiful woman risking ever...

A beautiful woman risking everything for a mad passion. A few wild weeks of happiness cut short by a hideous, treacherous crime. Months of voiceless agony, and then a child born in pain. The mother snatched away by death, the boy left to solitude and the tyranny of an old and loveless man. Yes, it was an interesting background. It posed the lad, made him more perfect as it were. Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Pleasures may turn a heart to ...

Pleasures may turn a heart to stone, riches may make it callous, but sorrows cannot break it. Hearts live by being wounded.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self denial.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

He is some brainless, beautiful creature, who should always be here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in the summer when we want something to chill our intelligence.

It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

For a year after that was done...

For a year after that was done to me I wept every day at the same hour and for the same space of time. That is not such a tragic thing as possibly it sounds to you. To those who are in prison tears are a part of every day's experience. A day in prison on which one does not weep is a day on which one's heart is hard, not a day on which one's heart is happy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

For life is terribly deficient...

For life is terribly deficient in form. Its catastrophes happen in the wrong way and to the wrong people. There is a grotesque horror about its comedies, and its tragedies seem to culminate in farce.
