Wilde is still better remembered for his personal life ,his exuberant personality, consummate wit and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality, than for his literary accomplishments.
"I don't regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure. I did it
to the full, as one should do everything that one does. There was no
pleasure I did not experience. I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup
of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived
on honeycomb. But to have continued the same life would have been wrong
because it would have been limiting" Oscar Wilde
Written in DE Profundis in prision.
