“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.“
Remembering Oscar Wilde on his birthday.
Spent a bitterly cold winter holed up in a cabin in Bulgaria reading the Collected Works of Oscar Wilde and posting a daily quote on my MySpace page (to give you an idea how long ago this was 😄). Man, I wish I had that list back!
The books that the world calls immoral, are books that show the world its own shame.

Such an interesting person, might be adding a biography of his to my pile!
I spent the weekend camping at the Hillside Music Festival in Guelph. This is a bandana from the festival with an Oscar Wilde quote on it. Not a lot of reading happened this weekend!

🎵Just a few of my favorite things 🎶
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken" is attributed to Oscar Wilde... however, according to QuoteInvestigator.com this cannot be proven.
?But this one is Wilde's:
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are some one else‘s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." (Ouch)-me
Either quote seems a perfect call out for #BeYourself in #JuneTunz ❤️

Beautiful quote from a beautiful man. One of my favorites. #oscarwilde
Received the coolest Christmas gift. This gorgeous collection of quotes folds into a tiny book! They know me well.
Time took its toll on my 1997 edition of The Collected Works of Oscar Wild @WordsworthEd
