Wilde, dans Gray, pour faire suite à la discussion précédente:

There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating -- people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

Et puis, juste pour le fun:

In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well informed man,–that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-à-brac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value.

Et puis vraiment, vraiment juste pour le plaisir:

They get up early, because they have so much to do, and go to bed early because they have so little to think about.
