Flamboyant and witty, Oscar Wilde was famous for being famous. The
toast of late-nineteenth London society, he once boasted he could
speak spontaneously on any subject, and his writings were as varied
as his captivating conversation. One of the leading playwrights of
his age, he also found fame as a poet, novelist and essayist. Of
course, Wilde's literary success is bound up with the tragedy of
his private life, and his very name evokes fascination. Including
Wilde's funniest remarks and ripostes as well as deeper
reflections, this collection of wit and wisdom will amuse, provoke
and delight. 'There is only one thing in the world worse than being
talked about, and that is not being talked about.' Lord Henry in
The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1890. 'Yes: I am a dreamer. For a
dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his
punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.'
Intentions, 'The Critic as Artist', 1891.
