I hate how if I ever go to a bookstore and there’s something by Voltaire it’s always a matter of “Wow, some new pieces I haven’t read yet but do I need a 100th copy of Candide”

The happy Prince by Oscar Wilde

"High above the city on a tall column, stood the statue of the happy Prince.

He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires and a large red Ruby glowed on his sword hilt."
