Love the Oscar Wilde. He always had the best one-liners. Once when he went through customs they asked him if he had anything to declare. "Nothing but my own genius!" Other good ones include "Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong", "I can resist anything but temptation", "Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality" and "I love acting. It is so much more real than life".

you can't flirt with the track, you must marry it!
