The Wicked Wit of Oscar Wilde (The Wicked Wit of series)

Oscar Wildes 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 Wildes wicked brilliance.
