This collection showcases the wit and sharp commentary of a master wordsmith, renowned for his clever insults and insightful observations. Oscar Wilde's acerbic quips reveal a deep understanding of human nature and its follies, making his remarks both entertaining and thought-provoking. Unlike many, his jests are not cruel but rather highlight the intricacies of character and vanity, positioning him alongside Shakespeare as one of the most quoted playwrights in literary history.
Oscar Wilde’s needle-sharp rejoinders are often repeated with delight. However, his jibes were rarely cruel, and displayed a profound understanding of the human character and its vanities. This collection includes such notable quotes as: "Work is the curse of the drinking classes" and "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." With a timeline of his life and quotations divided by themes, this book demonstrates why people are still drawn to Wilde’s wicked brilliance.
