Someone should invent an Oscar Wilde quote generator like they did for Deepak Chopra. I’ve been guilty of using OW’s quotes but does the format have to be so predictable?

“The <$5 word for an emotion> with/of <noun> is not that it <does a banal thing> but that <slightly offbeat insight>”.

1. The surprising thing about rain is not that it falls during your parade but that it never does when you have to attend someone else’s.

2. Some people read books to educate themselves, others to subjugate others.

3. I have nothing to declare but I’m too much of a genius to just “No” when asked.

How did I do?
