“ALGERNON: My dear fellow, the way you flirt with Gwendolen is perfectly disgraceful. It is almost as bad as the way Gwendolen flirts with you.

JACK: I am in love with Gwendolen. I have come up to town expressly to propose to her.

ALGERNON. I thought you had come up for pleasure? . . . I call that business.

JACK: How utterly unromantic you are!

ALGERNON: I really don’t see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I’ll certainly try to forget the fact.

JACK: I have no doubt about that, dear Algy. The Divorce Court was specially invented for people whose memories are so curiously constituted.”

“A prayer without a deed is an arrow without a bowstring;
A deed without a prayer is a bowstring without an arrow.
The heart of a man should be like a quiver full of arrows,
And the hand of a man should be like a strong bow strung for action.
The heart of a man should keep his arrows ever ascending,
And the hand and the mind of a man should keep at a work unending.”
― Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“Kill the spiders to save the butterflies, it’s only rational, until you realize that ; by striving to do so you yourself become the spider”
- Vash the Stampede

"If you keep saving butterflies,
spiders will starve to death! But…wanting to save both is a contradiction.
What would you rather do?
Keep deliberating? The butterfly will be eaten
in the meantime."

- Million Knives, Vash’s brother”

“ALGERNON:
How are you, my dear Ernest? What brings you up to town?
JACK:
Oh, pleasure, pleasure! What else should bring one anywhere?”
