Thread Name: Oscar Wilde
Subject: RE: Oscar Wilde
Blessings on your birthday, dear, tormented Oscar. Amongst the many brilliant epigrams:

"If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out."

and

"I can resist anything except temptation."

FYI to bflat: Oscar did know divorce. His wife's relatives forced her to divorce him while he was in prison, and to change her and their children's last name to "Holland."
