Quotes 

• Mabel Chiltern : Why do you call Lord Goring a good for nothing?

  The Earl of Caversham : Because he leads such an idle life.

  Mabel Chiltern : How can you say such a thing? Why, he rides in the Row at ten o'clock in the morning, he goes to the Opera three times a week, he changes his clothes at least five times a day, and he dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?

• Mabel Chiltern : What sort of woman is she?

  Viscount Arthur Goring : Oh, a genius by day and a beauty by night.

  Mabel Chiltern : I dislike her already.

  Viscount Arthur Goring : That shows your admirable good taste.

• Mabel Chiltern : But, I love London society. I think it immensely improved. It is now entirely composed of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics. Just what society should be!
