A good friend will always stab you in the front.

Literature always anticipates ...

Literature always anticipates life. It doesn't copy it but moulds it to it's purpose.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Humanity takes itself too seri...

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Life is the art of being well ...

Life is the art of being well deceived, and to succeed, it must be habitual and uninterrupted.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

You must have a cigarette. A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?

The heart was made to be broken.

The bright dawn flooded the room, and swept the fantastic shadows into dusky corners, where they lay shuddering.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

When one is in town one amuses...

When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

My dear fellow, the truth isn'...

My dear fellow, the truth isn't quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman!

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

I'll bet you anything you like...

I'll bet you anything you like that half an hour after they have met, they will be calling each other sister. Women only do that when they have called each other a lot of other things first.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Cecily. This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade. Gwendolen. [Satirically.] I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

You have filled my tea with lu...

You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar, and though I asked most distinctly for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition, and the extraordinary sweetness of my nature, but I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

This ghastly state of things is what you call Bunburying, I suppose? Algernon. Yes, and a perfectly wonderful Bunbury it is. The most wonderful Bunbury I have ever had in my life. Jack. Well, you've no right whatsoever to Bunbury here. Algernon. That is absurd. One has a right to Bunbury anywhere one chooses. Every serious Bunburyist knows that.

Oscar Wilde 2454 quotes

Come, dear, [Gwendolen rises] ...

Come, dear, [Gwendolen rises] we have already missed five, if not six, trains. To miss any more might expose us to comment on the platform.

I never change, except in my affections.

The Roman Catholic Church is for saints and sinners alone - for respectable people, the Anglican Church will do.

Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity the misfortunes of others.

Learned conversation is either the affectation of the ignorant or the profession of the mentally unemployed.
