The quotable Oscar Wilde

The Quotable Oscar Wildeby Sheridan Morley Notorious for his quick wit, oddities of dress, and decadent behaviour, Oscar Wilde's perceptive - sometimes poisonous - pen pierced the heart of Victorian society. As a dramatist, his delightfully droll dialogue set new standards of satire and launched the modern age of English comedy.Collected here are Wilde's quips, quotes, and comments about everything from the common to the absurd. You'll also find his unabashed observations about life, love, and the importance of being Oscar.One hundred years after his death in Paris, Wilde's work is still celebrated and his timeless insights continue to ring true. In both his plays and his life, Oscar Wilde believed that "nothing succeeds like excess." Within these pages his vivacious spirit lives on.
