I believe the actual Oscar Wilde quote is:
“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”
For people who haven’t read Oscar Wilde, if you like witty dialogue in your stories, Wilde is top tier, and I think that’s underselling him.
Other than The Picture of Dorian Gray, what would you recommend?
Importance of Being Earnest is a family favorite. The film is great too
I am admittedly mostly gushing over The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is absolutely a must read, but the other one that comes to mind is his play, The Importance of Being Earnest.
Edit: Oh, somebody else replied with it first. Well, I’m honestly stymied. I guess I haven’t read as much Wilde as I thought I had, because I’m looking at his Wikipedia page and not seeing a lot of things I know. But it turns out according to Wikipedia that Earnest is his fourth “drawing-room play”, “following Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893) and An Ideal Husband (1895)”. So, I think I’ll check those out pretty soon. I can’t imagine they would disappoint, but I guess I’ll find out.

I kinda wish it would have left him like Christopher Reeves, but then again he’d still be able to talk and that would be bad.
i mean you kinda got your wish just +10 years

If you think things are going to be better after today, you’re delusional.
It’ll get much worse before things get better, as is tradition.
I may be dating myself. But, I remember posting a similar comment during the Bush administration. 😭
Collapse is always slowly, then suddenly.
You’re not wrong.
Every bit helps, and everyone knows these racist, mentally unwell and hellbound assholes are cowards, so it might be enough to dissuade potential Kirks. Having said that, seeing all these English flags over here (very loud dog whistles for racism) makes me feel like nothing will change in the West (or at least in the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic West) in the short term. 😭
