Oscar Wilde - Irish writer, playwright, and poet. He was famous for his witty epigrams and his plays Salome, The Importance of Being Earnest, A Woman of No Importance, and Lady Windemere’s Fan and his novel The Ballad of Reading Gaol. He lived a life of ascetic extravagance until his incarceration under anti-homosexuality laws and he was sentenced to two years hard labor before his death, destitute in a hotel at the age of forty-six. In these last few moments, he was able to deliver one of his more famous epigrams; “My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.” He is also ridiculously sexy.

Yes, please.
