Inteligence lives longer than beauty. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
No, as far as I am concerned, let your wife cherish the memory of this dead, stainless mother. Why should I interfere with her illusions? ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
Our eyelashes brushed like they would weave together by themselves, turning us into one wild thing. I say, I think I missed you before I met you even. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Oscar Wild quotes by Francesca Lia Block
She walked to where he stood, where the fire met the water. He took her hand and they both looked out into the abyss of it. The fear that Marcus had felt inside the Castle was still there, but he knew it was like the fire, a wild thing that could still be controlled, contained. ~ Yaa Gyasi
Oscar Wild quotes by Yaa Gyasi
People called her wild, but she wasn't. Not really. She just didn't give a shit what they thought. Maybe that was what they found so unforgivable in the end. ~ Jean Reynolds Page
Oscar Wild quotes by Jean Reynolds Page
The spirit of an age may be best expressed in the abstract ideal arts, for the spirit itself is abstract and ideal. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
Whenever we encounter wild animals in nature, we must only ever show kindness and compassion. ~ Paul Oxton
Oscar Wild quotes by Paul Oxton
PROCTOR, his mind wild, breathless: I say
I say
God is dead! ~ Arthur Miller
Oscar Wild quotes by Arthur Miller
But just as water carried Moses to his destiny down the Nile, so water carried another baby from a woman's body into an expectant world. Wrapped now in flesh, the God who once hovered over the waters was plunged beneath them at the hands of a wild-eyed wilderness preacher. When God emerged, he spoke of living water that forever satisfies and of being born again. He went fishing and washed his friends' feet. He touched the ceremonially unclean. He spit in the dirt, cast demons into the ocean, and strolled across an angry sea. He got thirsty and he wept. ~ Rachel Held Evans
Oscar Wild quotes by Rachel Held Evans
On an occasion of this kind it becomes more than a moral duty to speak one's mind. It becomes a pleasure. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows ... ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Oscar Wild quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I did not blame the poor girl. Truly. But getting her to trust my friendship, to trust anyone after her stepfather, Nero, was like training a wild squirrel to eat out of one's hand. Any loud noise was liable to cause her to flee, or bite, or both.
(I realize that's not a fair comparison. Meg bites much harder than a wild squirrel.) ~ Rick Riordan
Oscar Wild quotes by Rick Riordan
It looked like someone had been planting stars. The castle was in shreds, flagstone floors tiny islands in a sea of stones and wild grass, but clusters of lights were nestled on the castle floor and the earth of the cliffs alike, lanterns strung from the crumbling battlements.
There were so many lights they cast a shimmering haze over everything, bathing the ruins in a pale glow. Mae walked, hardly aware that she was walking, through Tintagel Castle over stones washed in brightness ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Oscar Wild quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
Don't ask her to be a rock
for you to lean upon
instead, build her wings
and point her to the sky
and she will teach you both to fly. ~ Atticus Poetry
Oscar Wild quotes by Atticus Poetry
Oscar sat back and looked at me appraisingly. "I need to think. And to think I must have oysters and champagne. ~ Gyles Brandreth
Oscar Wild quotes by Gyles Brandreth
Well, Buck my boy. ~ Jack London
Oscar Wild quotes by Jack London
My thoughts of you are a rainbow in splashing ocean waves...appearing...disappearing in sacred depths of skies the grasps of mine reach to the highest... Will you, ah, long for kissing me tonight? so I could feel the sweetest pleasure of your lips on mine... As we embrace in our dream, I'll dance your quiet loving tune deeply within. The softness of your gentle touch so ever fine..the painting fingertips caress my dewy glowing skin...and feel my heated inner flesh pulsate...they make my body sing like strings of violin...again.. The warmth of body yours so close... so real is the feeling of your beating heart against my chest...inhaling you is easy... I crave the safety of your soul arms around me. Joint passions together fully blooming, so wild, so intense..it makes time stand still... So kiss me, want tonight with golden, silver light of stars in darkest royal blue of velvet summer skies... To love you ~ I'm yours... I spread this crystal spring-like bliss under your feet...tread softly for you tread upon my dreams.. ~ Oksana Rus
Oscar Wild quotes by Oksana Rus
You know you're a pessimist when you win an Oscar and think, "Oh God, I've peaked. ~ Cate Blanchett
Oscar Wild quotes by Cate Blanchett
The number of people who will not go to a show they do not want to see is unlimited. ~ Oscar Hammerstein II
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Hammerstein II
There have been as many varieties of socialists as there are wild birds that fly in the woods and sometimes go up and on through the clouds. ~ Carl Sandburg
Oscar Wild quotes by Carl Sandburg
The crews, the young men who'd transmuted their fear into rage, were the greatest danger. The crews walked the blocks of their neighborhood, loud and rude, because it was only through their loud rudeness that they might feel any sense of security and power. They would break your jaw, stomp your face, and shoot you down to feel that power, to revel in the might of their own bodies. And their wild reveling, their astonishing acts made their names ring out. Reps were made, atrocities recounted. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Oscar Wild quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
The Billionaires' Indulgence series is addicting and a heck of a wild ride! ~ Scarlett Avery
Oscar Wild quotes by Scarlett Avery
Aim to live a wild, generous, full, exciting life - blessing those around you and seeing the good in all. ~ Bear Grylls
Oscar Wild quotes by Bear Grylls
You didn't think I could figure something out so the woman I care about doesn't have to walk home in the dark, running from wild dogs? You didn't think I could manage to arrange that and still maintain your honor?" He smelled like Diamond C soap and something woodsy, and his nearness was intoxicating. She splayed her hands on his chest and could feel it heave beneath her palms. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." "Hannah, I'm not offended." He cupped her cheek with one hand. "You scared me senseless." "I scared you?" "Yes, and I'd tell you never to do it again, but I think that would be a wasted effort." He traced her lips with the pad of his thumb. "And right now, I have something else I'd much rather put my effort into." His hand slipped around the back of her neck, sending shivers coursing through her. She held her breath as he lowered his head until his lips touched hers in the sweetest of kisses. ~ Lorna Seilstad
Oscar Wild quotes by Lorna Seilstad
The succession of cheerful, period musicals I made, plus Oscar Levant's widely publicized remark about my virginity, contributed to what has been called my "image", which is a word that baffles me. There never was any intent on my part either in my acting or in my private life to create any such thing as an image. ~ Doris Day
Oscar Wild quotes by Doris Day
These are the animals that are the reason why you don't see old animals in the wild. You don't see sick animals in the wild. You don't see lame animals in the wild, and its all because of the predator: the lion, the tiger, the leopard, all the cats. ~ Tippi Hedren
Oscar Wild quotes by Tippi Hedren
With your spare time and money, make a difference for those who can't afford a life. ~ Debasish Mridha
Oscar Wild quotes by Debasish Mridha
Ordinary cruelty is simple stupidity. It comes from the entire want of imagination. It is the result in our days of stereotyped systems, of hard-and-fast rules, of centralisation, of officialism, and of irresponsible authority. Whenever there is centralisation there is stupidity. What is inhuman in modern life is officialism. Authority is as destructive to those who exercise it as it is to those on whom it is exercised. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
I enjoyed having a reputation as being wild, but these days I try not to worry about what people think in the privacy of their own brain or what they write in the bizarre publicity of their own newspapers, because all of those things are meaningless. ~ Russell Brand
Oscar Wild quotes by Russell Brand
Nothing, indeed, is more dangerous to the young artist than any conception of ideal beauty: he is constantly led by it either into weak prettiness or lifeless abstraction: whereas to touch the ideal at all, you must not strip it of vitality. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
You are not listening to a word I am saying ... and I am making the most delightful plans for your future. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
that is the only explanation that satisfies the heart of a thinking man, whatever his wild reason may say. Should faulty education and perverse reasoning lead a man to conclude otherwise, there is little that any Christian can do for him. For such a man I have no message. ~ A.W. Tozer
Oscar Wild quotes by A.W. Tozer
Every year, tens of millions of salmon return to the pristine shores of Bristol Bay in Alaska. They linger in the bay's cool, shallow waters before charging up nearby streams to spawn and create another generation of wild salmon. ~ Frances Beinecke
Oscar Wild quotes by Frances Beinecke
The dark, uncontrolled, primordial part of a person informs them that they are alive. Living free entails accepting a slew of wildness. All wild animals act by instinct. Human instinct and intuitive thought allow us to gain insights and new beliefs, which human rationalization confirms. Logic and intuition work well together, if both sources of mental visualization are drawn from when most apropos. Planning carefully should never replace the spirit for improvisation. Acting recklessly is no substitute for measured evaluation. Nonetheless, a dash of craziness makes most people more endearing than the calculating banker whose ledger driven life causes them to see life in terms of money pouches. Letting go of all conceptions of what is, and dreaming what could be, is a form of delusion. Knowing the difference between fantasy and reality does not mean that a person should disdain imaginative acts. I need to recognize when it is time to stop woolgathering and come back down to reality and work in the pebbly bedrock of the here and now. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Oscar Wild quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Remake the wild, a little at a time, each in your own corner of the world. You cannot wait for anyone else, even a god, to do that for you. ~ Rick Riordan
Oscar Wild quotes by Rick Riordan
Her ravings were so crowded with recriminations and insults and petitions, with weeping and caterwauling and wild expressions of love, that it seemed bewildering to Bob and Charley that Jesse remained there for minutes, let alone hours; yet he did. She was four inches taller than Jesse, a giant of a woman, but she made him seem even smaller, made him seem stooped and spiritless. She made him kiss her on the mouth like a lover and rub her neck and temples with myrtleberry oil as he avowed his affection for her and confessed his frailties and shortcomings. ~ Ron Hansen
Oscar Wild quotes by Ron Hansen
[LSSU] was the kind of school where students had a lot of pride. Not the raucous strain of sports pride... And not academic pride... It was more of a geographical pride. Kids were proud to live in that tough wilderness setting, and the best way to prove your mettle was through achievements in the wild. ~ Steven Rinella
Oscar Wild quotes by Steven Rinella
Speak to meat eaters the way you would speak to a wild animal: softly and without any sudden movements. ~ Carol J. Adams
Oscar Wild quotes by Carol J. Adams
All the wild ways he had shown me, mosses and rushes and heather, the home of the curlew and snipe, and the grazing grounds of the geese, all those enchanted fields and the magical willows lying under the edge of the bog, all were to be spoiled, hidden, sold and disenchanted by that terrible force named Progress. ~ Lord Dunsany
Oscar Wild quotes by Lord Dunsany
I'd love to win an Oscar; that would be great. I hope to get a feature film that I've made get a wide release. I'm not sure that's ever going to happen. ~ Bill Plympton
Oscar Wild quotes by Bill Plympton
The morrow was a bright September morn; The earth was beautiful as if newborn; There was nameless splendor everywhere, That wild exhilaration in the air, Which makes the passers in the city street Congratulate each other as they meet. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Oscar Wild quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
That's one of the things we're most excited about, really, is just allowing this great, Oscar-nominated actor, giving him material to play in one of his signature roles. ~ David Kirschner
Oscar Wild quotes by David Kirschner
Schools should be the most beautiful place in every town and village-so beautiful that the punishment for undutiful children should be barred from going to school the following day. ~ Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wild quotes by Oscar Wilde
Each generation identifies with a small group of people said to have lived lives exemplifying the vices and virtues of that generation. If one were to choose a trial lawyer whose life reflected the unique characteristics of America's "Wild West" of a criminal justice system in the latter half of the Twentieth Century, that person likely would be my father.

New York City of the 1960s until the turn of the 21st century was the world's epicenter of organized and white-collar crime. During those four decades, the most feared mafia chiefs, assassins, counterfeiters, Orthodox Jewish money launderers, defrocked politicians of every stripe, and Arab bankers arriving in the dead of night in their private jets, sought the counsel of one man: my father, Jimmy La Rossa.

Once a Kennedy-era prosecutor, Brooklyn-born Jimmy La Rossa became one of the greatest criminal trial lawyers of his day. He was the one man who knew where all of the bodies were buried, and everyone knew it. It seemed incomprehensible that Jimmy would one day just disappear from New York. Forever.

After stealing my dying father from New York Presbyterian Hospital to a waiting Medevac jet, the La Rossa Boys, as we became known, spent the next five years in a place where few would look for two diehard New Yorkers: a coastal town in the South Bay of Los Angeles, aptly named Manhattan Beach.

While I cooked him his favorite Italian dishes and kept him alive using the most advanced ~ James M. LaRossa Jr.
Oscar Wild quotes by James M. LaRossa Jr.
