All quote cards for Oscar Wilde

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.
nothing that is worth knowing can be taught
For what is truth? In matters of relogion, it is simply the opinion that has survived. In matters of science, it is the ultimate sensation. In matters of art, it is one's last mood.
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life now that I am old I know that it is.
For what is truth? In matters of religion, it is simply the opinion that has survived. In matters of science, it is the ultimate sensation. In matters of art, it is one's last mood.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
True friends stab you in the front.
All art is quite useless.
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.
Bad people are, from the point of view of art, fascinating studies. They represent colour, variety and strangeness. Good people exasperate one's reason; bad people stir one's imagination.
The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates.

She is a peacock in everything but beauty.
