A quote from Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde 1854-1900

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

Wherever you are today, take a few moments to read this 19th century quote a few times over and then listen to those around you. How many of them are genuinely individual people with original and imaginative views?

Does a lazy poet who publishes an Oscar Wilde quote fall into this category or is he just being a Cheeky Monkey?

  1. Hey Cheeky monkey poetry author, I found some interesting Oscar Wilde quotes on your blogs. Thanks for sharing. If there was one book by Oscar you could recommend, what would that be? Sadly, havent read any of his work, but it’s never too late 🙂
