Wilde had one of the famous last lines ever: The wallpaper and I are having a battle. Either it has to go, or I have to go.” (IIRC)

Wilde knew what he was doing was wrong. As a consequence he was able to write about evil (The Picture of Dorian Grey) in an honest and powerful way.

As a Catholic convert, Wilde would probably get a kick out of being made a saint but I think he would have hated the low-class gay rights movement.

My favorite about Niagara Falls: the second largest disappointment of the bride.

Upstairs, in the attic, is a picture of that chapel, which shows what it REALLY is.
