If Oscar Wild had twitter it would’ve been something like this book. Reading it felt like watching him talk and make jokes from two tables away in an irish bar. It’s a small collection of his quotes and thoughts. This shows a very funny, arrogant and yet clever side of him. Many of these quotes will make you stop and think for a while, it’s a nice mix of ironic statements and points that are actually rather serious. My life mission is to be someone Oscar wild would have approved of.

I'm not really sure how to rate this tbh. I found Wilde's witticisms and remarks very interesting and also pretty humorous. I actually laughed out loud multiple times. Here are some of my favorite quotes: "The aim of love is to love: no more, and no less." "To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable." "Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions." "One can live for years sometimes without living at all, and then all life comes crowding into one single hour." "I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train." "The books that the world calls immoral books are books that show the world its own shame."

i just have such a soft spot for this man
