Sin is a thing that writes it...

Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed. People talk sometimes of secret vices, there are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The trouble with women is, th...

The trouble with women is, that when they grow up, they turn into their mothers. The trouble with men is, that they don't.

I never saw so many well-dressed, well-fed, business-looking Bohemians in my life.

The best way to appreciate your job is to, is here to stay.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

As for borrowing Mr. Whistler...

As for borrowing Mr. Whistler's ideas about art, the only thoroughly original ideas I have heard him express have had reference to his own superiority as a painter over painters greater than himself.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

But whether I become a believ...

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

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. Outside, the day may be blue and gold, but the light that creeps down through the thickly-muffled glass of the small iron-barred window beneath which one sits is grey and niggard. It is always twilight in one's cell, as it is always twilight in one's heart. And in the sphere of thought, no less than in the sphere of time, motion is no more.

Cultivated leisure is the aim of man.

Surely Love is a wonderful th...

Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, for can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

True love is just like regula...

True love is just like regular love, but with more truth.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A beautiful woman risking eve...

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

It is a very poor consolation...

It is a very poor consolation to be told that the man who has given one a bad dinner, or poor wine, is irreproachable in private life. Even the cardinal virtues cannot atone for half-cold entrees.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

It is a great mistake for men...

It is a great mistake for men to give up paying compliments, for when they give up saying what is charming, they give up thinking what is charming.

Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Each little thing that we do ...

Each little thing that we do passes into the great machine of life which may grind our virtues to powder and make them worthless, or transform our sins into elements of a new civilization, more marvelous and more splendid than any that has gone before.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Bad manners make a journalist...

Bad manners make a journalist.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There was purification in punishment. Not 'Forgive us our sins,' but 'Smite us for our iniquities' should be the prayer of a man to a most just God.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I should have remembered that...

I should have remembered that when one is going to lead an entirely new life, one requires regular and wholesome meals.

The last person who ever crossed me is dead under my bed!!!

Art never expresses anything but itself.
