"I have always been of opinion that a man who
desires to get married should know either everything or nothing."—Lady
Bracknell, in Anglo-Irish playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), The Importance of Being Earnest (1895)
(The image accompanying this quote features Judi
Dench as the redoubtable Lady Bracknell, in the 2002 movie adaptation of
Wilde’s sparkling comedy.)
