Jack Worthing: I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can’t go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we still had a few fools left.
Algernon Moncrieff: We have.
Jack Worthing: I should extremely like to meet them. What do they talk about?
Algernon Moncrieff: The fools? Oh, about the clever people, of course.
Jack Worthing: What fools!
Baudelaire – Les Fleurs du Mal
Ero stato calmo tutto il giorno; ma appena la notte nascose la forma delle cose, mi nacquero mille paure.
