I cannot choose one hundred best books because I have only written five

LADY STUTFIELD I adore silent men. MRS ALLONBY Oh, Ernest isn't silent. He talks the whole time. But he has got no conversation. What he talks about I don't know. I haven't listened to him for years.

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.

Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.

The best way to appreciate your job is to, is here to stay.
