Famous quotes containing the word wilde:

    The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. Indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices.
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    There is no country in the world where machinery is so lovely as in America.
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
