A very humorous, intelligent and articulate man. I believe he offended the sensibilities of the senseless proper.
Today, he would be a class hero. Always an icon of what makes sense, not what makes money.

More Oscar Wilde quotes:
Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction. 
Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
I prefer women with a past. They're always so damned amusing to talk to. 
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.
Dammit, sir, it is your duty to get married. You can't
be always living for pleasure.
Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

Good blog, and Johns added quotes are great!
I saw the film about his life, there was speculation as to whether he really was gay or whether he did and said what he did just get publicity.
I think every famous person goes under scrutany at some time or another tho.
