LADY BRACKNELL Algernon is an extremely, I may almost say an ostentatiously, eligible young man. He has nothing, but he looks everything. What more can one desire?
One can always be kind to people about whom one cares nothing.
Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.
There can be nothing more frequent than an occasional drink.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
I never saw a man who looked With such a wistful eye Upon that little tent of blue Which prisoners call the sky.
