His famous last words before dying:
“….either that wallpaper goes or I do….”

“The truth is rarely pure, and never simple.”

“Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.”

“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.”

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”

“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.”

“For there is one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”

“He has no enemies but is intensely disliked by his friends.”

“It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.”
(thanks Peggy Dillon-jackson)

“To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up.”
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde aka Oscar Wilde

“If Oscar Wilde were alive today he would be a rock star living in Hollywood and would always be on the cover of gossip magazines. Oscar Wilde invented himself for the public. He was a genius who would never pass up the opportunity to tell someone of his genius but at the same time never took himself seriously. Oscar knew the duality of life, the good side and the underlying dark side and much of his life and work reflected this.”
