"To make a good salad is to..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“We women adore failures. They lean on us.”

“Things are in their essence what we choose to make them. A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it.”

“For an artist to marry his model is as fatal as for a gourmet to marry his cook: the one gets no sittings, and the other gets no dinners.”

“The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.”

“The will must be stronger than the skill.”

“Winny would spend all of his time practicing limbo. He got pretty good. He could go under a rug.”

“Woe betide the leaders now perched on their dizzy pinnacles of triumph if they cast away at the conference table what the soldiers had won on a hundred bloodsoaked battlefields.”

“Diplomacy is the police in grand costume.”

“In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
