You know more than you think ...

You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I quite agree with Dr. Nordau's assertion that all men of genius are insane, but Dr. Nordau forgets that all sane people are idiots.

The proper basis for marriage...

The proper basis for marriage is a mutual misunderstanding.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

One should absorb the colour ...

One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I am but too conscious of the...

I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

My dear boy, the people who l...

My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect---simply a confession of failures. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don't want to interrupt you. Go on with your story.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The aim of the liar is simply...

The aim of the liar is simply to charm, to delight, to give pleasure. He is the very basis of civilized society.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The past is of no importance....

The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

After playing Chopin, I feel ...

After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I am a man of simple pleasure...

I am a man of simple pleasures. The best suits me perfectly.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The only way a woman can ever...

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

One's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them.

Hearts Live By Being Wounded

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

As one reads history ... one ...

As one reads history ... one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted.
