While at a party Oscar Wilde boasted of his ability to speak about any subject. This prompted the guests to propose subjects he should speak of.
"The queen!" suggested one of his fellows.
Oscar quickly replied, "the queen is not a subject."

THE PRINCE OF WALES:Ah, my congratulations, Wilde. Your play is a great success. The whole of London's talking about you.
OSCAR WILDE:Your highness, there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
THE PRINCE OF WALES:Oh, very witty, Wilde ..... very, very witty.
JAMES McNEILL WHISTLER:There is only one thing in the world worse than being witty, and that is not being witty.
OSCAR WILDE:I wish I had said that, Whistler.
JAMES McNEILL WHISTLER:Ah, you will, Oscar, you will.
