I do not approve of anything ...

I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There are few of us who have ...

There are few of us who have not sometimes wakened before dawn, either after one of those dreamless nights that make one almost enamoured of death, or one of those nights of horror and misshapen joy, when through the chambers of the brain sweep phantoms more terrible than reality itself, and instinct with that vivid life that lurks in all grotesques, and that lends to Gothic art its enduring vitality, this art being, one might fancy, especially the art of those whose minds have been troubled with the malady of reverie.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

My dear Arthur, I never talk ...

My dear Arthur, I never talk scandal. I only talk gossip. What is the difference between scandal and gossip? Oh! Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

For us there is only one seas...

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

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The truth about the life of a...

The truth about the life of a man is not what he does, but the legend which he creates around himself.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

When a man is old enough to do wrong he should be old enough to do right also.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Make some sacrifice for your ...

Make some sacrifice for your art and you will be repaid, but ask of art to sacrifice herself for you and a bitter disappointment may come to you.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Every woman becomes their mot...

Every woman becomes their mother. That's their tragedy. And no man becomes his. That's his tragedy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The history of women is the history of the worst form of tyranny the world has ever known. The tyranny of the weak over the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts.

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

I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.

Books are never finished, They are merely abandoned.

In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

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

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Is it thy will that I should ...

Is it thy will that I should wax and wane,
Barter my cloth of gold for hodden grey,
And at thy pleasure weave that web of pain
Whose brightest threads are each a wasted day?
