It is always the unreadable that occurs.

There is always something infinitely mean about other people's tragedies.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Do you really think it is weak...

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

There is something terribly mo...

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

No man dies for what he knows ...

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Anybody can write a three-volume novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Like dear St. Francis of Assis...

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Pleasure without Champagne is ...

Pleasure without Champagne is purely artificial.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

A man who marries his mistress...

A man who marries his mistress leaves a vacancy in that position.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

The intellect is not a serious thing, and never has been. It is an instrument on which one plays, that is all.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Nowadays to be intelligible is...

Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.

Rugby is a game for barbarians played by gentlemen. Football is a game for gentlemen played by barbarians.
