An Ideal Husband Quotes

Lord Arthur Goring:
I am glad you have called. I am going to give you some advice.
Laura:
Oh pray, don't. One should never give a woman something that she can't wear in the evening.

Sir Robert Chiltern:
Is it fair, Arthur?
Lord Arthur Goring:
Life is never fair, Robert. And perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Lady Markby:
And you know, I can't help feeling that this disturbing new thing, this higher education of women, will deal a terrible blow to happy married life.
Laura:
The higher education of men is what I should like to see. Men need it so sadly.
Lady Markby:
They do, dear. But I'm afraid such a scheme would be quite unpractical. I don't think man has much capacity for development. He has got as far as he can, and that is not far, is it?

Laura:
As a betting man, you must concede there is a certain thrill to it. Consider also how elegantly I've moved from proposal to proposition.
Lord Arthur Goring:
With hardly any loss of face. I'm most impressed, indeed.

Gertrude:
Oh, Arthur... what a good friend you are to him, to us.
Lord Arthur Goring:
Yes, but we're not out of danger yet. In fact, I believe there's a rather popular saying about frying pans and fires, except now it is you and I, dear Gertrude, who are to be roasted.

Lord Arthur Goring:
There's somebody I want to you talk to.
Lord Caversham:
What about?
Lord Arthur Goring:
About me, sir.
Lord Caversham:
Not a subject on which much eloquence is possible.

Gertrude:
The truth is, when I agreed to the story about the letter being intended for you and not for Arthur... well, the truth is... the truth is... [whispers]
Gertrude:
I lied. [everyone laughs]
Gertrude:
Oh, I need a drink!

Lord Arthur Goring:
Gertrude, it is not the perfect, but rather the imperfect who have need of love.
Gertrude:
You seem to know a great deal about it all of a sudden.
Lord Arthur Goring:
Oh, I hope not. All I know, Gertrude, is that it takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love. Gertrude, you have more courage than any woman I have ever known. Do not be afraid now to use it.

Mrs. Cheveley:
I want to talk to you about a great political and financial scheme, about this Argentine Canal Company, in fact.
Sir Robert Chiltern:
What a tedious, practical subject for you to talk about Mrs. Cheveley!
Laura:
Oh, I like tedious, practical subjects. What I don't like are tedious, practical people.

Laura:
Then I take it you reject my proposal?
Lord Arthur Goring:
I'm afraid I must. For you see, as tempting as it may be, in truth it's little more than blackmail.
Laura:
True.

Tags: Truth Quotes

Laura:
Do you know, Gertrude, I don't mind your talking morality a bit. Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike. You dislike me, I am quite aware of that, and I have always detested you.

Lord Arthur Goring:
Mrs. Cheveley.
Laura:
Call me Laura.
Lord Arthur Goring:
I don't like that name.
Laura:
You used to adore it.
Lord Arthur Goring:
Yes, that is why.
