Oscar Wilde
I don't like Switzerland it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.
Oscar Wilde
Shakespeare might have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the white streets of London, or seen the serving-men of rival houses bite their thumbs at each other in the open square but Hamlet came out of his soul, and Romeo out of his passion.
Oscar Wilde
