2 starsthis was really mediocre to me, which makes me sad because i’ve been waiting so long to get into oscar wilde。 i did really enjoy the title drop at the end though!

A quick, witty and thought-provoking read on his takes on society。 Oscar Wilde never disappoints!

Oscar Wilde is iconic。

As sharp as a good pirate blade, Wilde's quintessential wry humour and his unapologetic sense of self are a joy to behold。 As sharp as a good pirate blade, Wilde's quintessential wry humour and his unapologetic sense of self are a joy to behold。 。。。more

i started my oscar wilde journey with this one and it really was a ride。 i plan on reading more of wilde's works and this one further deepened my interest on his writings。reading through his thoughts is really capturing, he would've loved twitter。 i have a lot of underlined lines for future references and i would surely go back to this little tweet compilation of oscar wilde from time to time。 i started my oscar wilde journey with this one and it really was a ride。 i plan on reading more of wilde's works and this one further deepened my interest on his writings。reading through his thoughts is really capturing, he would've loved twitter。 i have a lot of underlined lines for future references and i would surely go back to this little tweet compilation of oscar wilde from time to time。 。。。more

Fun, quick read & enjoyable。 It really feels like reading through Oscar Wilde’s twitter page。 Short quotes and choppy ideas (imagining this is what he would be posting in his time)

Absolutely loved some of these lines。 Wilde’s thoughts are wild lol。

"One can live for years sometimes without living at all and then all life comes crowding into one single hour" "We teach people to remember, we never teach them how to grow""The things of nature do not really belong to us; we should leave them to our children as we have received them"Although Wilde and I do not share the same thoughts on many things it is interesting to get an insight into the mind of the genius that is Oscar Wilde。 We must read this book with an awareness of the time it was wri "One can live for years sometimes without living at all and then all life comes crowding into one single hour" "We teach people to remember, we never teach them how to grow""The things of nature do not really belong to us; we should leave them to our children as we have received them"Although Wilde and I do not share the same thoughts on many things it is interesting to get an insight into the mind of the genius that is Oscar Wilde。 We must read this book with an awareness of the time it was written in。 It is fascinating how many of Wilde's statements still remain true to this day。 I have highlighted some examples of this above。 。。。more

Read this in one sitting, and I love it。 There are some quotes that are contradicting though, but still, it's like a glance into Oscar Wilde's mind and it's really great。 I definitely recommend this to everyone who wants a short reading that can amuse you in one session Also, R。I。P Oscar Wilde you would've loved twitter。 Read this in one sitting, and I love it。 There are some quotes that are contradicting though, but still, it's like a glance into Oscar Wilde's mind and it's really great。 I definitely recommend this to everyone who wants a short reading that can amuse you in one session Also, R。I。P Oscar Wilde you would've loved twitter。 。。。more

TBH it was like i was reading his twitter page… but i liked it🤭🫶“anybody can make history。 only a great man can write it。” is giving me “anyone can cook。” vibes

This reads like Oscar Wilde’s inner monologue

Oscar Wilde, as he mentioned in the book ‘plagiarizes’ the work and ideas of others which is to say is very disappointing as he is well liked author who is popular and gives no credit damaging the reputation of the less popular people’s ideas whom he plagiarized。 His work is witty and has a deep message and it was short read。

a lot of it is regurgitated writing that you’ve probably read already。 i don’t remember a lot of it, but i can give you the vibe: oscar wilde on twitter, if you will。 no thoughts here, just vibes ✨

Aneta Hrabětová

Oscar Wilde would have had the coolest twitter account。

Browne

A tragic figure partly in that the ubiquity of these quotes (or the attitudes behind them) now renders many of them twee and annoying, whilst I’m sure they’d be much more appreciated by me if eaten fresh。 This entirely vindicates Wilde’s view that art reveals more about the viewer than the creator。
