Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast by Oscar Wilde
4.5
Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast is a short and pleasurable read. It showcases Oscar Wilde’s adored wit and genius through a collection of witticisms. I loved how congenial Wilde’s points and statements were. I’ll be reading this book over and over. I cannot recommend it enough.
I annotated the entire book *sign of a slay* but here are some of my favorite quotes!
“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”
“Are there not books that make us live more in one single hour than life can make us live in a score of shameful years?”
“The aim of life is self-development. To realize one’s nature perfectly – that is what each of us is here for.”
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
“It would be unfair to expect other people to be as remarkable as oneself.”
