Description
I have the simplest tastes, remarked Oscar Wilde. I am always satisfied with the best. In this superlative collection of quotations by the great Irish playwright and wit, readers will find the very best of Wildes scintillating comments on art, human nature, morals, society, politics, history, and numerous other subjects. Epigrams, aphorisms, and other bon mots gleaned from Wildes enduringly popular plays, essays, and conversation offer amusing, thoughtprovoking observations that resonate with truth and profundity beneath their comic surface.Widely acknowledged as the most brilliant talker of his age, Wilde once explained to Andr Gide, I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works. This fine collection of nearly 400 quotes, organized by category, contains quotations from both his works and his conversation, including gems from his personal life with which even devotees may be unfamiliar. The result is a splendid introduction to Wildes mind and personality, embodied in a feast of the English languages most brilliant and perceptive witticisms.
