Oscar Wilde
242 cryptograms in the catalog, every one taken from Oscar Wilde’s own writing rather than from a quotation list.
Mostly The Picture of Dorian Gray, with a scattering from the plays. Wilde built epigrams deliberately and put them in his characters' mouths, giving us quotations that were designed to be repeated before anyone repeated them.
