Oscar Wilde

I'm so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I say. Dreamer, also author.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer. However, one's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them!

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Dreams may come true, just remember nightmares are dreams too.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Why was I born with such contemporaries?

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius. I reserve all my genius to my life; my talent is the only one behind my works.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

The human contradicts himself.
The contradictions are beautiful.
The human is not.
Art is beautiful.
The Human creates art.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Make some sacrifice for your art and you will be repaid, but ask of art to sacrifice herself for you and a bitter disappointment may come to you.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about. Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious, He doesn't see things as they really are, if He did, he would cease to be an artist.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

I am glad this exists and that it can disturb the monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Today I went to the theatre, where the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being is performed.
The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

I used to treat art as the supreme reality and life as a mere mode of fiction. How stupid I was! Life imitates art far more than art imitates life

@AdaBaxterr @MillicentFawctt you visionary

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

By the moment, I leave you with these poems, which are alredy collected. A new volume of this might be also arriving soon...

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

I am currently writing some essays (apart from plays and other stuff). You have been reading the tip of the iceberg of some of my conclusions all this time. I hope to make a compilation of these soon.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

@SirConanDoyle_ @op_27_no_1 It seems that thing hits you really hard

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

In the time we live man is least himself when he talks in his own person. If what you want is the truth just give him a mask.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

@_faradaymichael @op_27_no_1 Then why do you ask?

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer. However, one's dreams must be big enough so as not to lose sight of them!

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
Nevertheless, action is limited and relative. Unlimited and absolute is the vision of him who sits at ease and watches, who walks in loneliness and dreams.

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

How could I feel unhappy having this in front of me?

[Oscar Wilde @OscarWildediary]

I don't want to earn my living, I want to live.
