–A Conversation between Lord Darlington and Cecil Graham in Oscar Wilde’s Play Lady Windermere’s Fan
Cecil Graham: “What is a cynic?”
Lord Darlington: “A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
Cecil Graham: “And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn’t know the market price of any single thing.”
