Oscar Wilde Taken Quotations

I was disappointed in Niagara - most people must be disappointed in Niagara. Every American bride is taken there, and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.

Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.

There are moments, psychologists tell us, when the passion for sin, or what the world calls sin, so dominates a nature, that every fibre of the body, as every cell of the brain, seems to be instinct with fearful impulses. Men and women at such moments lose the freedom of their will. They move to their terrible end as automatons move. Choice is taken from them, and conscience is either killed, or, if it lives at all, lives but to give rebellion its fascination, and disobedience its charm.

Some things are too important to be taken seriously.

I have made an important discovery... that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, produces all the effect of intoxication.

I have never killed anyone, but I have often read about some guy getting his ass taken out with great pleasure

Be yourself, because others are already taken.

I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated; at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.

Ah! that quite does for me. I haven't a word to say... Too much care was taken with our education, I am afraid. To have been well brought up is a great drawback nowadays. It shuts one out from so much.

Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling.

For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow. The very sun and moon seem taken from us.

Life is too short to be taken seriously.

Alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, may produce all the effects of drunkenness.

Just be your self. Everybody else is already taken.

Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

But I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated; at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching
