"I love to talk about nothing. It's..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde
I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about.

“Down the long and silent street, The dawn, with silver-sandaled feet, Crept like a frightened girl.”
“Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.”
“There was something terribly enthralling in the exercise of influence. No other activity was like it. To project one's soul into some gracious form, and let it tarry there for a moment; to hear one's own intellectual views echoed back to one with all the added music of passion and youth; to convey one's temperament into another as though it were a subtle fluid or a strange perfume: there was a real joy in that - perhaps the most satisfying joy left to us in an age so limited and vulgar as our own, an age grossly carnal in its pleasures, and grossly common in its aims.”
More on Conversation
“The secret of pleasing in conversation is not to explain too much everything; to say them half and leave a little for divination is a mark of the good opinion we have of others, and nothing flatters their self-love more.”
“One should never listen. To listen is a sign of indifference to one's hearers.”
“I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself. Sometimes I am so clever I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
