About this book

Miscellaneous Aphorisms collects the epigrams and sayings of Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), the Irish playwright, novelist, and conversationalist who remains the most quoted wit in the English language. The collection draws one-liners and paradoxes from across his plays, essays, fiction, and recorded conversation: the famous inversions on sincerity, temptation, society, art, and morality that Wilde scattered through Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, The Importance of Being Earnest, and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wilde built his public identity on the perfected epigram, and the aphorism collections that circulated after his death kept his voice current through the years when his name was unspeakable. The format offers Wilde's wit at maximum concentration.
