...ir citātu fabrika. :) Mūždien esmu priecājusies.

Tāpēc arī bija jauki uzdurties filmai, kas balstīta "Lēdijas Vindermīras vēdeklī",  A Good Woman. (Arī tāpēc jauki, ka Helēna Hanta un Skārleta Johansone man patīk, lai ko viņas darītu. Šajā filmā viņām bija iedotas galīgi nepiemērotas lomas. Bet tas nekas!)


Nu jā, Vailds un viņa citāti! Daži piemēri, tātad, no "Lady Windermere's Fan":


I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad.  People are either charming or tedious.

Bigamy is having one wife too many.  Monogamy is the same.

I can resist everything except temptation.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it.

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
 
A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing [cynic].

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
