the importance of being earnest

i just finished re-reading this play and it just reminded me how awesome oscar wilde is.
i love his sense of humour and his writing style

some quotes that stood out to me:

"Mamma, whose views on education are remarkably strict, has brought me up to be extremely short-sighted; it is part of her system; so you mind my looking at you through my glasses?"
- Gwendolyn

and

"The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing one's clean linen in public"
- Algernon


tee hee
happy friday afternoon
