There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about, said the author more than a hundred years ago. But this remark seems perhaps even more relevant to our present world where so many seek publicity at any cost. Wilde\'s well-turned phrases and spontaneous insults still cause much amusement and admiration. Most of us miss the opportunities for bon most, finding them long after the moments have passed, but the author seems never to have been short of suitable words - flattering, witty and on occasions savagely cruel. Many of the quotes in this book are taken from Wilde\'s plays, novels and essays which were also packed with witticisms amounting to an outrageous philosophy. Wilde\'s extravagance and unconventional behaviour earned him loyal friends but also bitter enemies and in 1895 after a series of unfortunate events and court cases he was gaoled for two years with hard labor for indecent behaviour. Though from prison ca me a few last brilliant works, Wilde was never to recover his health or standing in society. He died in Paris bankrupt, broken and alone. He is buried at Cimetière du Pere Lachaise - one of Paris\'s finest cemeteries - where today many pilgrims from all parts of the world come to pay their respects and leave tokens in recognition of his genius.
