Text Quotes
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) In a very ugly and sensible age, the arts borrow, not from life, but from each other  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. They must also be extraordinarily stupid  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing at all  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) If one hears bad music, it is one’s duty to drown it by one’s conversation  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) When we are happy, we are always good, but when we are good, we are not always happy  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) It is only the superficial qualities that last. Man’s deeper nature is soon found out  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) A person who, because he has corns himself, always treads on other people’s toes  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) The man who says his wife can’t take a joke, forgets that she took him  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) There is nothing that stirs in the whole world of thought to which sorrow does not vibrate in terrible and exquisite pulsation  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) I now see that sorrow, being the supreme emotion of which man is capable, is at once the type and test of all great art  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole!  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) When a man is old enough to do wrong he should be old enough to do right also  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) A woman will flirt with anybody in the world as long as other people are looking on  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Indeed I have always been of the opinion that hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing to do  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Oh, brothers! I don’t care for brothers. My elder brother won’t die, and my younger brothers seem never to do anything else  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never happened or couldn’t possibly have happened  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Literature always anticipates life. It doesn’t copy it but moulds it to it’s purpose  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them  (Oscar Wilde Quotes) Life is the art of being well deceived, and to succeed, it must be habitual and uninterrupted  (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
