Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde
5.0
Short, but clever. A true gem.
Another Wilde's play where he does quite well in describing human relations.
Some of my favourite quotes:
"If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn’t. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism."
"No, we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
"Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless.... Oh!"
"Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they are better.

If I lost my ideals, I should lose everything."
