Famous quotes containing the word wilde:

    People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures.
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    In going to America one learns that poverty is not a necessary accompaniment to civilisation.
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The mere existence of conscience, that faculty of which people prate so much nowadays, and are so ignorantly proud, is a sign of our imperfect development. It must be merged in instinct before we become fine.
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
