The best art is about individualism, free self-expression and realising a unique, imaginative perspective- A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public. The public are to him non-existent.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There is no such thing as mor...

There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The face of the enemy frightens me only when I see how much it resembles me

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Ultimately the bond of all co...

Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, and conversation must have a common basis, and between two people of widely different culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Each of the professions means...

Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

After the first glass, you se...

After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Too much work, and no vacatio...

Too much work, and no vacation, Deserves at least a small libation. So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses, Work's the curse of the drinking classes.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Veil after veil of thin dusky...

Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Things are because we see the...

Things are because we see them, and what we see, and how we see it, depends on the Arts that influenced us. To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then, and then only, does it comes into existence.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

What art seeks to disturb is ...

What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Hesitation of any kind is a sign of mental decay in the young, of physical weakness in the old.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Now and then it is a joy to have one's table red with wine and roses.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

You silly Arthur! If you knew...

You silly Arthur! If you knew anything about...anything, which you don't, you would know that I adore you. Everyone in London knows it except you. It is a public scandal the way I adore you. I have been going about for the last six months telling the whole of society that I adore you. I wonder you consent to have anything to say to me. I have no character left at all. At least, I feel so happy that I am quite sure I have no character left at all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Know thyself' was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, 'Be thyself' shall be written.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Even now I cannot help feeling that it is a mistake to think that the passion one feels in creation is ever really shown in the work one creates.

I have never killed anyone, but I have often read about some guy getting his ass taken out with great pleasure

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character.

It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.
