No one is more charming than him. Whether in casual conversation or with friends, whether in happy times or in adversity, Wilde is equally charming. The lines he left behind still fascinate us. His works are still young, as if they were written this morning. - Borges
I have never seen a man who speaks so elegantly and with such perfect words as Oscar Wilde, as if he had written them all night long, yet they flowed so naturally from him. -B. Yeats
The person I would most like to confide in in my next life is Oscar Wilde. - Churchill
Of all the writers who were the defining figures of the 1890s, only Oscar Wilde is still widely read. He was brilliant, magnificent, and shaky. —Richard Ellman
