Oscar Wilde

I love Oscar Wilde and I’m on a bit of a Wilde streak. I can’t wait to see the new ‘Dorian Gray‘ movie with Ben Barnes as Gray himself. I’ve added ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’ and ‘The Ideal Husband’ to my Love Film wish list and I’ve just read ‘Nothing…except my genius’ a collection of Wilde’s quotes from Penguin.  Now this wasn’t life changing, I’ve read or heard most of the material included but it was nice to refresh the memories and Stephen Fry’s introduction is great. He played Wilde in a movie of the same name and talks about becoming Wilde or at least the comment of others about him becoming Wilde.

It was missing my favourite quote though -

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