America
Of course America had often been discovered before Columbus,
but it had always been hushed up.
Americans
and Paris
When good Americans die they go to Paris.
(The Portrait of Dorian Gray)
Appearances
It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.
(The Picture of Dorian Gray)
Army
The General was essentially a man of peace, except in his
domestic life.
(The Importance of Being Earnest)
Art
and Life
All that I desire to point out is the general principle
that Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.
(Intentions)
All art is quite useless.
(The Portrait of Dorian Gray)
Behind
one's back
It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays
saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely
and entirely true.
Belief
I can believe anything as long as it is incredible.
Books
There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books
are well written, or badly written.
(The Picture of Dorian Gray)
British
To many, no doubt, he will seem blatent and bumptious, but
we prefer to regard him as being simply British.
(Pall Mall Gazette)
Business
It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people
like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
(The Importance of Being Earnest)
Conversation
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the
Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized.
(An Ideal Husband)
Cricket
I never play cricket. It requires one to assume such indecent
postures.
Debt
One must have some sort of occupation nowadays. If I hadn't
my debts I shouldn't have anything to think about.
(A Woman of No Importance)
