ALGERNON: <...> I know perfectly well whom she will place me next to, tonight. She will place me next Mary Farquhar, who always flirts with her own husband across the dinner-table. That is not very pleasant. Indeed, it is not even decent...and that sort of thing is enourmously on the increase. The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scanalous.
Only relatives, or creditors, ever ring in that Wagnerian manner.
LADY BRACKNELL: Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well.
ALGERNON: I'm feeling very well, Aunt Augusta.
LADY BRACKNELL: That's not quite the same thing. In fact the two things rarely go together.
CECILY: <...> I hope your hair curls naturally, does it?
ALGERNON: Yes, darling, with a little help from others.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
How absurd to talk of the equality of the sexes! Where questions of self-sacrifice are concerned, men are infinitely beyond us.

To speak frankly, I am not in favour of long engagements. They give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which I think is never advisable.
