He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage.

I like looking at geniuses and listening to beautiful people.

The world seemed to me fine because you were in it, and goodness more real because you lived.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Fashion is what one wears ones...

Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear. Just as vulgarity is simply the conduct of other people. And falsehoods the truths of other people. Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself. To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Life is terrible. It rules us,...

Life is terrible. It rules us, we do not rule it.

Those who have much are often greedy; those who have little often share.

Nowadays we are all of us so hard up that the only pleasant things to pay are compliments. They're the only things we can pay.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

God knows; I won't be an Oxford don anyhow. I'll be a poet, a writer, a dramatist. Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious. Or perhaps I'll lead the life of pleasure for a time and thenЂ'who knows?Ђ'rest and do nothing. What does Plato say is the highest end that man can attain here below? To sit down and contemplate the good. Perhaps that will be the end of me too.

If it took Labouchere three columns to prove that I was forgotten, then there is no difference between fame and obscurity.

Lo! with a little rod I did but touch the honey of romance Ђ' And must I lose a soul's inheritance?

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The honest ratepayer and his h...

The honest ratepayer and his healthy family have no doubt often mocked at the dome-like forehead of the philosopher, and laughed over the strange perspective of the landscape that lies beneath him. If they really knew who he was, they would tremble. For Chuang TsЗ' spent his life in preaching the great creed of Inaction, and in pointing out the uselessness of all things.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you.

Religion is like a blind man looking in a black room for a black cat that isn't there, and finding it.

You are Beautiful when you are happy

It is always worth while asking a question, though it is not always worth while answering one.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Nothing is so aggravating as calmness. There is something positively brutal about the good temper of most modern men.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

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.
