Quand on est amoureux, on commence par se tromper soi-même. Et on finit par tromper les autres. Voilà ce que le monde appelle une histoire d’amour. Mais une vraie grande passion est relativement rare à notre époque. C’est le privilège de ceux qui n’ont rien à faire.
Oscar Wilde, Une femme sans importance (A Woman of No Importance)
VO : When one is in love one begins by deceiving oneself. And one ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance. But a really grande passion is comparatively rare nowadays. It is the privilege of people who have nothing to do.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

Hi Neil,
continuing on the closed captions hell:
Amazon insists Crowley calls Aziraphale "Lady Brackney" in the pub scene, but I googled around and think he actually made a Lady Bracknell reference, cause Britannica says "[she] is the embodiment of conventional upper-class Victorian respectability". Would you confirm that?
Thanks in advance if you ever answer this ✨
Yes. That's the only line in the show that David improvised, too. I believe every take he'd order a sherry for Aziraphale with a different request (in the script I thought he'd be too far away to hear so I hadn't written a line). I love that he calls Aziraphale "Lady Bracknell" for all sorts of reasons.
