the nature of things

  • Algernon: My dear boy, I love hearing my relations abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven’t got the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die.
  • Jack: Oh, that is nonsense!
  • Algernon: It isn’t!
  • Jack: Well, I won’t argue about the matter. You always want to argue about things.
  • Algernon: That is exactly what things were originally made for.
