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

“I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.”

“Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”

“I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art: I altered the minds of men, and the colour of things: I awoke the imagination of my century so that it created myth and legend around me: I summed up all things in a phrase, all existence in an epigram: whatever I touched I made beautiful”

“All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.”

“I like men who have a future and women who have a past.”

“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”

“Sparrows and cats will live in my shoe,”

“Conceptions are artificial. Perceptions are essential.”

“Be silent and safe — silence never betrays you;”

“Love's mysteries in souls do grow,”

“I wrote too many poems in a language I did not yet know how to speak”

“Heart, we will forget him!”
