Reading and rereading Wilde throughout the years, I noticed something that his panegyrists had not, it seems, suspected: namely the verifiable, elementary fact that Wilde was virtually always right.

Jorge Luis Borges

Wilde stood for art. He stood for nothing less all his life... He is still enormously underestimated as an artist and thinker... Wilde was a great writer and a great man.

Stephen Fry

Every line that Wilde ever wrote affected me so enormously.

Morrissey

I think The Picture of Dorian Gray stands as high as it ever has.

Will Self

A heady late-Victorian tale of double-living, in which Dorian's fatal, corruptive influence over women and men alike is left suggestively indistinct.
