evidence: An image shared on Facebook claims that Irish playwright Oscar Wilde once stated, "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." [...] Wilde was an Irish poet, playwright and author who was deeply involved in the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century. Many of his works, such as "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray," are still highly regarded in literary circles. The alleged quote featured in the Facebook post has been widely attributed to Wilde online, yet there is no credible source linking it to him. The DCNF searched a collection of his complete works but found nothing matching the statement. (RELATED: Did Oscar Wilde Coin This Saying About Happiness?)
