About this listen

Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde is a timeless collection of the sharpest observations, paradoxes, and epigrams from one of literature’s most brilliant minds.

Oscar Wilde’s wit is elegant, mischievous, and relentlessly insightful. With effortless precision, he skewers social conventions, exposes hypocrisy, and reveals enduring truths about love, ambition, beauty, morality, and human folly. Each quotation stands alone yet contributes to a larger portrait of Wilde’s worldview—one that prizes individuality, intellectual courage, and the art of living well.

Whether playful or profound, Wilde’s words remain strikingly modern. His humor conceals serious reflection; his satire challenges complacency; his brilliance invites listeners to see the world differently. This collection is ideal for casual listening, reflection, or inspiration—perfect to open at random and savor line by line. Compiled from Wilde’s plays, essays, letters, and lectures, this edition brings together his most memorable thoughts in a concise, accessible format. As a work drawn from public-domain sources, it preserves Wilde’s voice in its original spirit, free for listeners to enjoy, share, and revisit across generations.

A celebration of intellect and irreverence, Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde is an essential companion for lovers of literature, philosophy, and timeless humor.
