- His plays often make use of shocking (for the time) humor.
- Bittersweet, romantic and religious narratives.
- Dandy apparel.
- Oscar was the great-nephew of author Charles Maturin, an Irish clergyman and author whose gothic novel "Melmoth the Wanderer" inspired Oscar's pseudonym 'Sebastian Melmoth', which he used for three years from the time of his release from prison until his death.
- Appears on the sleeve of The Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.
- He published several books of stories for children, which had originally been written for his own sons.
- Both Wilde and his procurer (of young boys) were tried twice for "public indecency". The first trial ended in a hung jury. The second convicted him.
- Buried in Paris's Père Lachaise Cemetery, the same cemetery in which Jim Morrison, Gertrude Stein, Edith Piaf and Marcel Proust are buried.
- There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
- I adore persons better than principles and persons with no principles more than anything else in the world.
- We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
- Men can be analyzed, women ... merely adored.
- I couldn't help it. I can resist everything except temptation.
