Product Information

I always thought she was one of the funniest people on earth and then found out she had cribbed most of her best shots from Oscar Wilde. As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. Language is the noblest instrument we have, either for the revealing or the concealing of thought; talk itself is a sort of spiritualized action; and conversation is one of the loveliest of the arts. I got quite truly eaten alive by bugs, and I'm of the firm belief that if you get bitten by something then you should turn into something cool.

that made me feel awesome while participating in the very art-centric activity of reading a book of Oscar Wilde quotes. Many of these quotations will make you stop and think, a bit like a work of a Seneca, but as Oscar was obviously no Stoic, you’ll encounter quotes that will make you laugh and some you may even find preposterous. Initially, I thought this was going to be a piece of short prose by Wilde and was surprised I couldn't find it in any collections of his works.Each book gives readers a taste of the Classics’ huge range and diversity, with works from around the world and across the centuries – including fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.
