Dover goes Wilde with these two fine additions to its line of bargain titles. Lady Windermere is a typical Wilde farce; the latter volume is simply a collection of his best lines.

This review is from: Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations (Paperback)
Yes, Oscar Wilde is one of the most quoted people. And yes, the price of this booklet is quite inexpensive. Yet, as is common amongst quote books, much of the content is not compelling. Look elsewhere, dear reader.

Unparalleled Wit & Wisdom,

This review is from: Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations (Paperback)
"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.

This review is from: Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations (Paperback)
Everyone knows OW was a witty guy. If you want to find witty things he said in one small book such that you can try to emulate his wit, this book is for you. It's good for an hour's read where you will snicker, snort, and grin. It's exactly what i expected and exactly what I got. Whee!
