Plain women are always jealou...

Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

When I like people immensely ...

When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I wanted to eat of the fruit ...

I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees in the garden of the world… And so, indeed, I went out, and so I lived. My only mistake was that I confined myself so exclusively to the trees of what seemed to me the sun-lit side of the garden, and shunned the other side for its shadow and its gloom.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I really don't see anything r...

I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Misfortunes one can endure--t...

Misfortunes one can endure--they come from outside, they are accidents. But to suffer for one's own faults--ah!--there is the sting of life.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I write because it gives me t...

I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Actual life was chaos, but th...

Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

One should never listen. To l...

One should never listen. To listen is a sign of indifference to one's hearers.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

In the old times men carried out their rights for themselves as they lived, but nowadays every baby seems born with a social manifesto in its mouth much bigger than itself.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The bureaucracy is expanding ...

The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art

Find expression for a sorrow,...

Find expression for a sorrow, and it will become dear to you. Find expression for a joy, and you will intensify its ecstasy.

He wants to enslave you.' 'I shudder at the thought of being free.

I love scandals about other people, but scandals about myself don’t interest me. They have not got the charm of novelty.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

His sudden mad love for Sibyl...

His sudden mad love for Sibyl Vane was a psychological phenomenon of no small interest. There was no doubt that curiosity had much to do with it, curiosity and the desire for new experiences; yet it was not a simple but rather a very complex passion.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There is no mode of action, n...

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.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Philanthropic people lose all...

Philanthropic people lose all sense of humanity. It is their distinguishing characteristic.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

They are always asking a writer why he does not write like somebody else, or a painter why he does not paint like somebody else, quite oblivious of the fact that if either of them did anything of the kind he would cease to be an artist.
