Collected wisdom of Oscar Wilde

[Wolfpoet]

A few one liners from the great man himself.

I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

A gentleman never offends unitentionally

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

I hopeyou have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being realy good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.

When people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

The good ended happily and the bad unhappily. This is what fiction means.

Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.

I love Wagner's music better than anybody's. It is so loud that one can talk the whole time without people hearing what one says. That is a great advantage.

I love acting. It is so much more real than life.

I do recognise about two thirds of the ones above as actual Oscar Wilde quotes (give or take a prarphrase or two).

Some of the made up ones are just as good though.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Heh, Oscar Wilde...

I like his last words:

"Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."

when did Guido reappear?

[Guido Finucci]

when did Guido reappear?

At a guess, Mon May 22, 2006 7:56 pm NZST. He isn't really around though and hardly even lurks these days.

[Bella]

Hey, Guido. How's it going?

[Guido Finucci]

Hey, Guido. How's it going?

(Threadjack)

Yeah, pretty good.

The job that I've been trying to lose for two years is ending in a couple of weeks. I have a new one, working for new and shiny people.

I got a silly haircut.

I am now too old to die young, having just turned 30. It was fun. I was in Bahrain  for a week or so. Those Arabs sure are kooky.

How are things with you and the clan? And everone else around these parts?

[Bella]

Silly haricuts are good. I have one myself these days.

The new job sounds great. As does the Bahrain adventure.

I'm doing good, thanks.
Still reading the cards and drinking the tequila.

My clan are also doing well,
DS#3 was deadly ill for most of last year, but has recovered beautifully.
And Squerrell is a teenager, which doesn't bode well for the world.

And Squerrell is a teenager, which doesn't bode well for the world.

Is it cold in here, or is it just me?

[Bella]

It's very very cold in here, Guido.
I think there is nothing much more dangerous than a hormonal Devil Squerrel.

[Guido Finucci]

It's very very cold in here, Guido.
I think there is nothing much more dangerous than a hormonal Devil Squerrel.

Except perhaps a hormonal Devil Squerrel in heat.

I'm not sure the other side of the world is going to be far enough away...

[Bella]

Now you're just scaring me.
