Lady Bracknell: I've always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything, or nothing. Which do you know?

Lady Bracknell: I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate, exotic fruit. Touch it, and the bloom is gone.
