Text Quotes
Married men are horribly tedious when they are good husbands, and abominably conceited when they are not  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) If a woman wants to hold a man, she has merely to appeal to what is worst in him. We make gods of men, and they leave us. Others make brutes of them and they fawn and are faithful  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) It is only about things that do not interest one that one can give a really unbiased opinion, which is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always absolutely valueless  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, and bound with bars lest Christ should see how men their brothers maim  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Self-denial is simply a method by which man arrests his progress, and self-sacrifice a survival of the mutilation of the savage  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) A sentimentalist is a man who sees an absurd value in everything and doesn't know the market price of any single thing  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Taking sides is the beginning of sincerity, and earnestness follows shortly afterwards, and the human being becomes a bore  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) To get into the best society nowadays, one has either to feed people, amuse people, or shock people  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Talk to every woman as if you loved her, and to every man as if he bored you, and at the end of your first season you will have the reputation of possessing the most perfect social tact  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Clergymen and people who use phrases without wisdom sometimes talk of suffering as a mystery. It is really a revelation  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Suffering is one very long moment. We can not divide it by seasons. We can only record it's moods and chronicle their return  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) It is so easy for people to have sympathy with suffering. It is so difficult for them to have sympathy with thought  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) For what is Truth? In matters of religion, it is simply the opinion that has survived. In matters of science, it is the ultimate sensation. In matters of art, it is one's last mood  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) I played with an idea, and grew willful; tossed it into the air; transformed it; let it escaped and recaptured it; made it iridescent with fancy, and winged it with paradox  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The best one can say of modern creative art is that it is just a little less vulgar than reality  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The English public, as a mass, takes no interest in a work of art until it is told that the work in question is immoral  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) He had that curious love of green, which in individuals is always the sign of a subtle artistic temperament, and in nations is said to denote a laxity, if not a decadence of morals  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) A man's very highest moment is, I have no doubt at all, when he kneels in the dust, and beats his breast, and tells all the sins of his life  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) We who live in prison, and in whose lives there is no event but sorrow, have to measure time by throbs of pain, and the record of bitter moments  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) He to whom the present is the only thing that is present, knows nothing of the age in which he lives  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Better the rule of one, whom all obey, than to let clamorous demagogues betray our freedom with the kiss of anarchy  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) For an artist to marry his model is as fatal as for a gourmet to marry his cook: The one gets no sittings, and the other gets no dinners  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The American father... Is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The poet is the supreme artist, for he is the master of colour and of form, and the real musician besides, and is lord over all life and all arts  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The Bostonians take their learning too sadly: culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style  (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
