《道连·格雷的画像》和《认真的重要》(不可儿戏)似乎是没有出现过这句话的,我猜出处可能在《温夫人的扇子》和《理想丈夫》这两部戏剧中。本回答被提问者采纳

王尔德悖论
奥斯卡·王尔德逻辑悖论式的辩论让人无从驳倒。他措辞巧妙的语句正是机智的体现。似是而非的论断迷惑了我们的理性,也正是我们人类固有的理性逻辑思维使我们陷入了悖论。以下就是王尔德悖论的典型例子;
“我的缺点就是我没有缺点。”
“第一:我永远是对的;第二:如果我错了,请参见第一条。”
“如果你以为已经理解我的意思了,那么你已经误解了我的意思。”
另外,王尔德似非而是式的悖论一样让人称绝:
“每次人们赞同我的时候,我都觉得自己一定错了。”由这句话可以推理出“人们不赞同我的时候,我都是对的。”
这样的措辞使人理屈词穷,百口难辩,他轻而易举地将真理占为己有,无论怎么去论证以上的语句,真理总是站在他的那一边。
王尔德式的机智以悖论为主,也是他至理名言的特色。在王尔德的作品中,层出不穷的,无懈可击的悖论能够让理论散发出真理般的色彩。以下是节选其自作品中的语句(若想更好地体会出效果,建议去参考作品全文,以便联系上下文。):
除了诱惑之外,我可以抵抗任何事物。(I can resist everything except temptation.)
生活里有两个悲剧:一个是没有得到我们想要的;另外一个是得到了。(There are only two trage dies in life:one is not getting what one wants and the other is getting it.)

教养良好的人处处和他人过不去,头脑聪明的人处处和自己过不去。(The well bred contradict other people.The wise contradict themselves.)

一个愤世嫉俗的人知道所有东西的价格,不知道任何东西的价值。(A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.)
把人分成好的与坏的是荒谬的,人要么是迷人,或者乏味。(It is absurd to divide people in to good and bad .People are either charming or tedious.)
女人是用来被爱的,不是用来被理解。(Women are meant to be loved,not to be understood.)
公众是惊人的宽容,可以原谅一切除了天才。(The public is wonderfully to lerant .It forgive everything except genius.)
诗人可以拯救一切除了印刷错误。(A poet can survice everything but a misprint.)
我不想谋生,我想生活。(I don not want to eran my living .I want to live.)
世上只有一件事比被人议论更糟糕了,那就是没有人议论你。(The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.)
没有比冷静更让人恼火的。(Nothing is so aggravating than calmness.)
声望是我从未经受的侮辱之一。(Popurlarity is the one in sult I have never suffered.)
真理很纯粹,可决不简单。(The turth is rarely pure and never simple.)
奚落是庸才对天才的颂歌。(Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genuis by the mediocrities.)
没有伟大的艺术家是看事物真实的样子,如果他这样他就不再是艺术家。(No great artist ever sees things as they really are ,If he did he would cease to be a artist.)
艺术的宗旨是展示艺术本身,同时把艺术家隐藏起来。
自传体是批评的最高形式,也是最低形式。
死亡和庸俗是十九世纪仅有的无法用巧辩逃避的东西。
我们这个时代的人,读书太多,所以不再聪慧,思考太多所以不再美丽。
有些作品很有耐性,长时间以为也没被人了解,原因是这些作品为一些还未有人提出的问题提供了答案。这些问题在答案出现了很久很久以后才出现。
那些自称了解自己的人,都是肤浅的人。(只有肤浅的人了解自己)
只有聪明的女人才会犯骇人听闻的错误。
艺术并非模仿生活,而是生活在模仿艺术。
任何的艺术作品都无法表达观点,观点属于人,而非艺术家。
评论开始发挥影响之际也就是它不再是评论家的时候,评论的目的是写下作者自己的心情,而非改正其他人的杰作。
起初是我们造成习惯,后来是习惯造成我们。
犯罪并非是低级,但是低级都是犯罪。
一个自身美好的主题对于艺术家毫无启示,它缺乏缺陷。
显而易见的事物是艺术家无法看到的唯一事物,显而易见的事物是大众能够看到的唯一事物,结果出现了记者的评论。
艺术是世界上唯一严肃的事物,而艺术家则是唯一永远不严肃的人。
犯罪分子离我们如此地近,就连警察都能够发现他们,他们离我们又如此遥远,只有诗人能够理解他们。
女人对许多事物生来就很精明,除了显而易见的东西,什么也瞒不了她们。

除了感官,什么也不能治灵魂的创痛,同样,感官的饥渴也只有灵魂解除得了。(Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the)
