.....But Seriously...
“We should treat all the trivial things of life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality.” (Oscar Wilde)
Bald text on a screen without facial expression or tone of voice to accompany it lends itself to misinterpretation and to imagined insults etc, which can provoke similar statements in kind.
can we all lay down crosses and axes and hatchets please.
"It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously" (Oscar Wilde)
^ I can be big enough to admit guilty as charged to that.
For future reference whenever I've used this > : it generally means the rest of the post is not meant to be taken too literally & indeed often not at all seriously.
( "Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit" - Oscar Wilde )
Three Oscar Wilde quotes in one post ? What a w**ker.
