Summary
This quote by Oscar Wilde humorously defines a pessimist as someone who always expects the worst outcomes. It suggests that even when faced with a selection between two undesirable options, a pessimist will surprisingly opt for both, assuming that both options will result in unfavorable consequences. The quote implies that a pessimist is resigned to believe that nothing good can come out of any situation, reinforcing the idea that their negative perspective influences their decision-making process.
