Lord Illingworth Monologue from A Woman of No Importance

From A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde

male · sarcastic · 37 sec

To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it simply a tragedy. Society is a necessary thing.

You might just as well be a barrister, or a stockbroker, or a journalist at once.
