The clever people never listen, and the stupid people never talk.

wastrelle:

MRS. ALLONBY.  Don’t find yourself longing for a London dinner-
party?

HESTER.  I dislike London dinner-parties.

MRS. ALLONBY.  I adore them.  The clever people never listen, and
the stupid people never talk.

HESTER.  I think the stupid people talk a great deal.

MRS. ALLONBY.  Ah, I never listen.

from Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance
