Book 1 Lady Windermeres Fan 3

  • Lord Darlington: Do you know I am afraid that good people do a great deal of harm in this world. Certainly the greatest harm they do is that they make badness of such extraordinary importance. It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious. I take the side of the charming, and you, Lady Windermere, can’t help belonging to them.Dec 5 2023 10:22PM

  • In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.Dec 5 2023 10:41PM
