Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was a widely renowned Victorian Era playwright who also wrote the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. His life inspired the most famous rebellious french novel “Against the Line ( À rebours ) in 1884.  He lived a fascinating life, and he was known as rule violator, was even imprisoned for two years for homosexuality

He spent the end of his life in Paris, France, before he died at the age of forty-six. Oscar Wilde was buried in La Pére Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, and his tomb stands as one of the most interesting and unique graves in the entire cemetery. His grave in Paris is still adorned with thousands of lipstick kisses - despite the ban on kissing.

This line by Oscar defines himself in his own words

“One is tempted to define man as a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.”
