Happy Birthday, Oscar


Although he once cried, "Why was I born with such contemporaries?", nonetheless, he was born today in 1854, and has delighted the lover of wit and words ever since.

I could offer some quotes, but how do you distill Wilde? Okay, here are a few:

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
I am not young enough to know everything.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

and here many, many more.
