Lady Windermere's Fan - Oscar Wilde

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The last is much the worst; the last is a real tragedy!

— Well, that is no business of yours, is it, Cecil?

— Cecil Graham. None! That is why it interests me. My own business always bores me to death. I prefer other people’s.

Cecil Graham: — What is a cynic?
Lord Darlington: — A man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

I prefer women with a past. They’re always so demmed amusing to talk to.
