Oscar Wilde's quote on death from "The Canterville Ghost": Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
#OscarWilde#OscarWilde120 It was on this day, 120 years ago, that Oscar Wilde has passed away and left such an influence in arts and literary circles, as well as LGBTQ and socialist activism. I have nothing to say to this great author but "thank you".
If a friend of yours, who hasn't read Oscar Wilde before, wants you to recommend a work of #OscarWilde for a beginner just like them, what would you recommend? #OscarWilde120
I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can’t go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left. #OscarWilde#OscarWilde120 (The Importance of Being Earnest)

Dumby. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars? Upon my word, you are very romantic to-night, Darlington.

#OscarWilde#OscarWilde120 All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. - The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
