Oscar Wilde; why are you so good to me?

I mean really? This man is amazing. This play is simply hysterical. And it is so quotable.

"The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her, if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain."

He's amazing.

I don't really have anything substantial to say about this play because it's so frivolous and mainly because my shift at work is over in ten minutes. Needless to say, I love it and it's gay little subtleties. I mean bunburying? Cucumber sandwiches? Oscar, I love you!!
