Thanks, Bill. I agree that Oscar Wilde's quip is entertaining, and the
citation you found would be a great addition to an article focused on
his quip. I have not yet created that article

Meanwhile I did place the Wilde quip into the following QI article. I
cited the 1893 play “A Woman of No Importance”
