The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Conscience and cowardice are ...

Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.

"There is no such thing as a good influence, Mr. Gray. All influence is immoral — immoral from the scientific point of view." "Why?" "Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul."

Well, I can’t help going to see Sibyl play, even if it is only for an act. I get hungry for her presence; and when I think of the wonderful soul that is hidden away in that little ivory body, I am filled with awe." "You can dine with me to-night, Dorian, can’t you?" He shook his head. "To night she is Imogen," he answered, "and tomorrow night she will be Juliet." "When is she Sibyl Vane?" "Never." "I congratulate you.

All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. All lives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

While one should always study...

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes.

If it is not nailed to the floor, it's mine. If I can pry it loose, it is not nailed down.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature's lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary monotony, her absolutely unfinished condition.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.

Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

My dear fellow, the truth isn’t quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman!

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

She was a curious woman, whos...

She was a curious woman, whose dresses always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest. She was usually in love with somebody, and, as her passion was never returned, she had kept all her illusions. She tried to look picturesque, but only succeeded in being untidy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The only thing that the artist cannot see is the obvious. The only thing that the public can see is the obvious.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

We think that we are generous...

We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbor with those virtues that are likely to benefit ourselves. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience.
