Truth Quote by Oscar Wilde — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I had buried my romance in a bed of asphodel.”

“The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.”

“Nobody is worthy to be loved. The fact that God loves man shows us that in the divine order of ideal things it is written that eternal love is to be given to what is eternally unworthy. Or if that phrase seems to be a bitter one to bear, let us say that everybody is worthy of love, except him who thinks he is.”

“Nichts Interessantes ist jemals richtig.”

“Women have no appreciation of good looks—at least, good women have not.”

“When I say that I am convinced of these things I speak with too much pride. Far off, like a perfect pearl, one can see the city of God. It is so wonderful that it seems as if a child could reach it in a summer's day. And so a child could. But with me and such as me it is different. One can realise a thing in a single moment, but one loses it in the long hours that follow with leaden feet. It is so difficult to keep 'heights that the soul is competent to gain.' We think in eternity, but we move slowly through time; and how slowly time goes with us who lie in prison I need not tell again, nor of the weariness and despair that creep back into one's cell, and into the cell of one's heart, with such strange insistence that one has, as it were, to garnish and sweep one's house for their coming, as for an unwelcome guest, or a bitter master, or a slave whose slave it is one's chance or choice to be.”

“For your information, Dolores, Rudi gave me full leave to do what I think is best for our children.”

“ART”

“She told the truth as she saw it, and she died for it. I came along for the ride, and I lived. It wasn't worth it. But it was the truth, and it was what had to happen.”

“In wine, there's truth.”

“To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.”

“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.”
