Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast (Penguin Little Black Classics) : A Review

I love having a few unread Penguin Little Black Classics unread on my Kindle.

The description provided by Penguin of these is: 

One of 46 new books in the bestselling Little Black Classics series, to celebrate the first ever Penguin Classic in 1946. Each book gives readers a taste of the Classics' huge range and diversity, with works from around the world and across the centuries - including fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.

 

This little book by Oscar Wilde was a fun way to spend an hour or so. I was laughing so loudly and I have included just a few quotes that I loved. 

But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.

The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated.

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.

I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do – the day after.

Married life is merely a habit, a bad habit.

I highly suggest you pick this one up and try the other Penguin Little Black Classics. They are tiny bitesized portions of classic literature.
