Nice irony, putting that quote up there. I find that it's particularly relevant to myself. As I never tire of telling people, there was an extremely good reason why I never succeeded at being a good debater. Sometimes I suspect that it's one of the central reasons why I tend to feel insufferably dull and superficial. Wilde strongly believed that 'shallowness is the supreme vice'. Out of self-defence, I thought he was being a little harsh and unfair.
Anyone's read Wilde's
De Profundis? I'm rather curious, you see, considering what it actually is. Quite interesting, I thought, when I first came across it as an impressionable Secondary 1 schoolgirl.
