My dear fellow, 'Oscar Wilde Quotations' not 'Quotes'. A tradesman gives one a quote estimating the price of works to be done, these morsels of Wilde's genius are quotations. The old boy must be turning in his tomb.
"The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass."
One of my favourite Wilde quotes -"If you want to be a grocer or a general or a politcian or a judge, you will invariably become it. That is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but I will call the artisitic life -- if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know -- you will never become anything and that is your reward."
You've selected precisely the quote that I wrote down because it struck me as being exceptionally clever! Of all the quotes featured, we've selected the exact same one! I'm amazed!
Those knowing a lot about politics never use their vote.
The poet becomes a dreamer when he forgets to pack his pencil.
We are always known for what other people think of us.
Dream women are often made up.
Those finding life unfulfilling fulfil their lives to the whole.
By definition the writer should write more books than he reads.
We love a thing less the more there is of it to love.
The artists work is only finished when it finishes him off first. all by Posypity.

All of the following are said from the character Algernon in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest"
"Relations are simply a tedious pack of people who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die."
"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his."
"The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty and to someone else if she is plain."

A few lines from the preface of Dorian Gray:
"The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass."
I love that.

I'm quoting Oscar Wilde. That was one he didn't put in his video that I thought deserved inclusion because it was hilarious.

The quote at 0:17 seconds said it all to me.
That is EXACTLY why YouTube is more thought - provoking than Facebook ( or, God Forbid, Twitter...)
Is it a coincidence that YouTube proliferates in assumed identities, and yet conversely , is less creepy than Facebook ? !!!
I've gone off on a tangent. Oscar Wilde !

Dear anglican: How right you are, sir....
I recently saw this graph which made me smile & I think you'd like:
3 circles for ADHD, stalking and narcissism;
Where stalking and narcissism overlap is called: Facebook.
Where All three overlap is, of course, Twitter....
By the way, I keep running into you on different channels (But I swear, I'm not stalking you! :-)
Hope you're having a good weekend.....
