1) Paperback Book Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. Oscar Wilde was one of the most brilliant men to ever live and his oeuvre definitely deserves a quote book of its own. I realize that he has several but I bought this one recently and on the cheap (I got mine used from a z shop). Here the great playwright´s observations are subdivided into chapters concerning men, women, marriage, youth, sin, religion, journalism, wealth, England, America etc. It´s a concise collection but contains nearly 60 pages of priceless insight. Wilde sums up a large amount of human nature almost effortlessly via the words of the characters found in his works. In fact, if you ever need a source regarding just about anything cultural he´s a wonderful authority. It´s too bad he did not live in our times as his irreverence would have been better appreciated and celebrated--at least by those of us who are not politically correct. Rest in Peace, hero.¤

2) Paperback Book Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. This sweet little book is full of Oscar Wilde´s great little quips. I absolutely love it! I keep it next to my desk and pick it up for those sweet little chuckle breaks that we all must take to break up the dreary work day! Great little read! Promise!¤

3) Paperback Book Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. "I can resist everything except temptation."
"There is no sin except stupidity."
"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances."
"It is always with the best intentions that the worst work is done."

These laconic aphorisms are just the tip of the iceberg of Wilde´s impressive, yet oftentimes eclectic and nihilistic, use of the English language. Dover gives us 60 pages of brilliant witticisms and axioms to use over and over again for a mere dollar. You can´t go wrong. Also recommended - Dover´s Shakespeare quotes book for a dollar. Enjoy.¤
