More Quotes By Oscar Wilde
For an artist to marry his model is as fatal as for a gourmet to marry his cook: the one gets no sittings, and the other gets no dinners.
Oscar Wilde
The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Oscar Wilde
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors
Oscar Wilde
Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life
Oscar Wilde
