Happy Birthday, Oscar!

Today is the birthday of Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. A couple of choice quotes (compliments of The Writer's Almanac):

-- "I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability."

-- "The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself."

-- "I can resist anything but temptation."


It's also the birthday of Eugene O'Neill, another playwright I hugely admire. He, however, is not exactly famous for his witticisms.
