1489.0. "Oscar Wilde (some of his many quotes)" by STOWOA::COADY () Tue Jul 25 1995 17:25
The wit and wisdom of Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational
to read on a train.
No woman should ever be quiet accurate about her age, it appears to be too
calculating
When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong.
The good end happily and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.
I can resist everything but temptation.
Flowers are as common in the country as people are in town.
Modern women understanding everything perfectly well; except their husbands.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
I sometimes think that God, in creating man, somewhat over-estimated his
own capability.
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.
Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest
knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct of when to die.
A man who moralizes is usually a hypocrite, and a woman who moralizes is
invariably plain.
There is something vulgar in success. The greatest men fail ... or seem to have
failed.
On his deathbed ...
Its terrible, its the wallpaper or me ... one of us has to go.
