Each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There are moments, psychologis...

There are moments, psychologists tell us, when the passion for sin, or what the world calls sin, so dominates a nature, that every fibre of the body, as every cell of the brain, seems to be instinct with fearful impulses. Men and women at such moments lose the freedom of their will. They move to their terrible end as automatons move. Choice is taken from them, and conscience is either killed, or, if it lives at all, lives but to give rebellion its fascination, and disobedience its charm.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A really well-made buttonhole ...

A really well-made buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature.

Time is a waste of money.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

To be really mediæval one sho...

To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A truth ceases to be true when...

A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

If one tells the truth, one is...

If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Never met such a Gorgon . . . ...

Never met such a Gorgon . . . I don't really know what a Gorgon is like, but I am quite sure that Lady Bracknell is one. In any case, she is a monster, without being a myth, which is rather unfair.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I am sick of women who love on...

I am sick of women who love one. Women who hate one are much more interesting.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

But whether I become a believe...

But whether I become a believer or remain an agnostic, my belief or disbelief must derive its source from within, not from without. I, myself, must create its symbols. The transcendental is that which produces its own form. I will never discover its secret if I do not find it in my own heart; if I do not possess it already I shall never be able to acquire it.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

you will always love, and you ...

you will always love, and you will always be loved

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Death is a great price to pay ...

Death is a great price to pay for a red rose', cried the Nightingale, 'and Life is very dear to all. ' It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent oft he hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Any place you love is the worl...

Any place you love is the world to youЂќ, explained the pensive Catherine Wheel, who had been attached to an old deal box in early life, and prided herself on her broken heart; 'but love is not fashionable any more, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and is silent. I remember myself once- But it is no matter now. Romance is a thing of the past.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Truth, in matters of religion,...

Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

You are more to me than any of...

You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Well, I don't like your clothe...

Well, I don't like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don't you go up and change? It's perfectly childish to be in mourning for a man who is actually staying a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Out of the sea will rise Behem...

Out of the sea will rise Behemoth and Leviathan, and sail 'round the high-pooped galleys... Dragons will wander about the waste places, and the phoenix will soar from her nest of fire into the air. We shall lay our hands upon the basilisk, and see the jewel in the toad's head. Champing his gilded oats, the Hippogriff will stand in our stalls, and over our heads will float the Blue Bird singing of beautiful and impossible things, of things that are lovely and that never happen, of things that are not and that should be.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Pleasure is the only thing one...

Pleasure is the only thing one should live for, nothing ages like happiness.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A person who, because he has corns himself, always treads on other people's toes.
