More quotes by Oscar Wilde

"If a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame."
"It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection."
"There are two ways to dislike poetry: One is to dislike it; the other is to read Pope."
"A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing."
"The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart."
