There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating - people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.
Oscar WildeThe sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin.
