More than 1000 ripostes, paradoxes, and epigrams on sin, society, genius, wealth, men, women, religion, America, education, and smoking: &quote;Work is the curse of the drinking classes,&quote; &quote;I can resist everything except temptation,&quote; etcetera. Also excerpts from his trial testimony, where the tragedy implicit in Wilde's humor is nowhere more vivid.
