  • Oscar Wilde Quote #1

    (...) wartosc idei w zaden sposób nie zalezy od szczerosci tego, kto ja glosi. Wprost przeciwnie; istnieje duze prawdopodobienstwo, ze im bardziej jest nieszczery, tym bardziej stanowi ona czysty wytwór jego intelektu, nieskazony jego osobistymi potrzebami, pragnieniami czy przesadami.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #2

    Requiescat

    Tread lightly, she is near
    Under the snow,
    Speak gently, she can hear
    The daisies grow.

    All her bright golden hair
    Tarnished with rust,
    She that was young and fair
    Fallen to dust.

    Lily-like, white as snow,
    She hardly knew
    She was a woman, so
    Sweetly she grew.

    Coffin-board, heavy stone,
    Lie on her breast,
    I vex my heart alone
    She is at rest.

    Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
    Lyre or sonnet,
    All my life’s buried here,
    Heap earth upon it.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #3

    [D]as man die wahre Natur der Sinne nie verstanden hatte und dass sie wild und tierisch geblieben waren, nur weil die Welt versucht hatte, sie durch Aushungern zu bändigen und durch schmerzhaften Verzicht abzutöten, statt danach zu trachten, sie zu Elementen einer neuen Geistigkeit zu verwandeln, deren bezeichnendes Merkmal ein empfindsamer Sinn für die Schönheit sein sollte.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #4

    [J]ene Entsagungen, die die Menschen alberner Weise Tugenden nennen [...]

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #5

    [W]as verabscheuenswerter sei, die Zeichen der Sünde oder die des Alter.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #6

    A arte é a mais intensa forma de individualismo que o mundo conhece.

    A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #8

    A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #9

    A fi bun inseamna a fi in armonie cu tine insuti. Disonanta inseamna a fi in armonie cu altii

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #10

    A flower blossoms for its own joy.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #11

    A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #12

    A kiss may ruin a human life

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #13

    A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #14

    A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #15

    A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #16

    A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #17

    A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #18

    A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #19

    A poet can survive everything but a misprint.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #20

    A really well-made buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #21

    A strange sense of loss came over him. He felt that Dorian Gray would never again be to him all that he had been in the past. Life had come between them.... His eyes darkened, and the crowded, flaring streets became blurred to his eyes. When the cab drew up at the theatre, it seemed to him that he had grown years older.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #22

    A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public. The public are to him non-existent

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #23

    A woman will flirt with anybody in the world as long as other people are looking on.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #24

    A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #25

    A writer is someone who has taught his mind to misbehave.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #26

    Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #27

    Actors are so fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different. Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualifications. Our Guildensterns play Hamlet for us, and our Hamlets have to jest like Prince Hal. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #28

    Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #29

    Adevarul despre casatorie este acela ca te face sa nu mai fi egoist. Iar oamenii lipsiti de egoism sun incolori. Le lipseste individualitatea

  • Oscar Wilde Quote #30

    After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.
