Oscar Wilde Quotes, Silly Quotes, Character Quotes

You silly Arthur! If you knew anything about...anything, which you don't, you would know that I adore you. Everyone in London knows it except you. It is a public scandal the way I adore you.

At least, I feel so happy that I am quite sure I have no character left at all.
