I found Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom: A Book of Quotations to be entertaining. I was so impressed by the quotes from Wilde's The Soul Of Man Under Socialism & Selected Critical Prose that I ordered the book.

I found it intriguing that someone who died in 1900 could so well describe the ills of society today. I would have rather read more of such quotes, but at least I can now read his critical prose to get a lot more of his ideas.

~To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist__ that is all.
Irrespective of the fact, whether I agree with all his thoughts or not. But I love his writing style and
He's the wittiest writer of all times. :')

(4 ⭐️) I loved everything about this book. I can honestly say that Oscar Wilde is one of the most down-to-Earth authors that have been produced. His wisdom is so precise and it is advice that can still be applicable in today's world. In addition, Wilde has this umatchable wit to his personality. Essentially, this collection of quotes was exceptional and I highly recommend it to EVERYONE!!!!

Oscar is the quintessential wit-clever, biting, and wise. His wit can never be over-rated. A must.

I adore Oscar Wilde, he had the most brilliant mind of his age! I love this book... all this beautiful quotes gathered in one place! Love it!

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

I love Oscar Wilde. He is one of my favorite writers. This was a nice collection of quotes. I wish the book was longer. Oscar Wilde is very quotable.

Clever, as one would expect from this author. Also tediously cynical, at least to me as a reader. I like reading Oscar Wilde stories, but this series of mostly one-liners lacked the context of the original stories and as such felt like rapid-fire bullets. I had fun with it but would have been just as happy to skip it.
