I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no pleasure I did not experience (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
It is always worth while asking a question, though it is not always worth while answering one (Oscar Wilde Quotes)

When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
It is very vulgar to talk about one’s own business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then only at dinner parties (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
The only form of fiction in which real characters do not seem out of place is history. In novels they are detestable (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
When one has never heard a man’s name in the course of one’s life, it speaks volumes for him; he must be quite respectable (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
One must have some sort of occupation nowadays. If I hadn’t my debts I shouldn’t have anything to think about (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Rugby is a game for barbarians played by gentlemen. Football is a game for gentlemen played by barbarians (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
A sentimentalist is simply one who desires to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it (Oscar Wilde Quotes)

It is in the brain that the poppy is red, that the apple is odorous, that the skylark sings (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
In art, the public accept what has been, because they cannot alter it, not because they appreciate it. They swallow their classics whole, and never taste them (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Individualism has really the higher aim. Modern morality consists in accepting the standard of one’s age (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Ethics, like natural selection, make existence possible. Aesthetics, like sensual selection, make life lovely and wonderful, fill it with new forms, and give it progress, and variety and change (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Really, if the lower orders don’t set a good example, what on earth is the use of them? (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Musical people always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be perfectly deaf (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Twenty years of romance makes a woman look like a ruin; but twenty years of marriage makes her something like a public building (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
Learned conversation is either the affectation of the ignorant or the profession of the mentally unemployed (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
When people talk to us about others they are usually dull. When they talk to us about themselves they are nearly always interesting (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
And let me touch those curving claws of yellow ivory; and grasp the tail that like a monstrous asp coils round your heavy velvet paws (Oscar Wilde Quotes)
