Hear no evil, speak no evil, ...

Hear no evil, speak no evil, and you won't be invited to cocktail parties.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

To regret one’s own experienc...

To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Art is individualism, and ind...

Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine. It seeks to show new perspectives and other choices. It is a way to help expand and liberate the consciousness; our experiences, understandings, imaginings, options and thereby our lives.

The only thing I cannot resist is temptation.

Circumstances should never alter principles!

Ah! realize your youth while you have it. Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.

History is a lie commonly agreed upon.

If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.

Don't give a woman advice; one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Disobedience, in the eyes of ...

Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Without order nothing can exi...

Without order nothing can exist-without chaos nothing can evolve. Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The final mystery is oneself....

The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Some things are too important to be taken seriously.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Selfishness is not living as ...

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live; it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Behind joy and laughter there...

Behind joy and laughter there may be a temperament, coarse, hard and callous. But behind sorrow there is always sorrow. Pain, unlike pleasure, wears no mask. ... For this reason there is no truth comparable to sorrow. There are times when sorrow seems to me to be the only truth. Other things may be illusions of the eye or the appetite, made to blind the one and cloy the other, but out of sorrow have the worlds been built, and at the birth of a child or a star there is pain.

I drink to separate my body from my soul.

A man who moralizes is a hypocrite, and a woman who does so is invariably plain.

Sometimes, the unnecessary is necessary.
