Oscar Wilde
On the whole, the great success of marriage in the States is due partly to the fact that no American man is ever idle, and partly to the fact that no American wife is considered responsible for the quality of her husband's dinners.
Oscar Wilde
An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant as the case may be.
Oscar Wilde
