We who live in prison, and in whose lives there is no event but sorrow, have to measure time by throbs of pain, and the record of bitter moments.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There is no mode of action, no form of emotion, that we do not share with the lower animals. It is only by language that we rise above them...

The man who says he has exhausted life generally means that life has exhausted him.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Talk to a woman as if you love...

Talk to a woman as if you loved her, and to a man as if he bored you.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There is only one real tragedy...

There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

It is a sad truth, but we have...

It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.

If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.

Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.

It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it.

All trials are trials for one's life, just as all sentences are sentences of death.

And now, I am dying beyond my means. (Said while sipping champagne on his deathbed.)

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

We quaff the cup of life with ...

We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim - objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

As one knows the poet by his f...

As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognize the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection; Through Art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Society, as we have constitute...

Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleance me in the great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.
