Beschreibung

This book is a collection of 230 brilliant quotes and aphorisms of Oscar Wilde. It grants his paradoxical reflections on subjects ranging from Genius to Stupidity: "I have nothing to declare except my genius." "The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it." "I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about." "There is no sin except stupidity." "Some things are too important to be taken seriously." "Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious." "Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood." "Every woman is a rebel." "Everything popular is wrong." "Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast." "The world is a stage and the play is badly cast." "Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life."
