Quotable Wilde

I love Oscar Wilde quotes. I just wanted to take a moment to share my favorites in "The Picture of Dorian Gray."

"The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play."

"Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different."

"It is not good for one's morals to see bad acting."

"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

"She behaves as if she was beautiful. Most American women do. It is the secret of their charm."

"It is an odd thing, but everyone who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world."
