In this analysis of the Lord Darlington quotation, he is saying that human beings may have nothing, but ‘some of us are looking at the stars’: in other words, some of us have the ability to appreciate the beauty, even from our rather wretched and low (literally low) position. And ‘in the gutter’ is usually glossed as a reference to the luckless and downtrodden state of humankind. This is of interest because Wilde’s line is frequently interpreted as being a reference to ‘we’ in the broadest sense: that is, all of humankind, men and women. Observe that he is talking specifically about men and their moral qualities (or rather, lack thereof) when it comes to the treatment of the women in their life: a key theme for Lady Windermere’s Fan. Note that the line in question is often slightly misinterpreted: Lord Darlington says ‘we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’ in response to Dumby’s line, ‘I don’t think we are bad.’ “ He who doesn’t risk never gets to drink Champagne.” An old Russian proverb.We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars? Upon my word, you are very romantic to-night, Darlington.“ If life brings you troubles, drink some Champagne, then your problems will just become bubbles… ” – Unknown.“ Pleasure without Champagne is purely artificial.” – Oscar Wilde.“ Champagne should be cold, dry and hopefully, free.” – Christian Pol Roger.“ Champagne, King of Wines and Wine of Kings.” – Prince Orlofsky.“ There is nothing more beautiful than a sunset, viewed over a glass of chilled Champagne.” – Jared M.“ Pour the Champagne and let its mousse rise,like thousands of sparkling smiling eyes.“- Jared M.“ Champagne… it gives you the impression that every day is Sunday.” – Marlena Dietrich.“ In a perfect world, everyone would have a glass of Champagne every evening.” – Willie Gluckstern.“ Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s Champagne!” – Winston Churchill.The Champagne definitely improves the orange.” – Philip, Duke of Edinburgh “ Champagne and orange juice is a great drink.“ The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef love is like being enlivened with Champagne.“ – Samuel Johnson.“ I only drink Champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not.” – Coco Chanel.“ My only regret in life is that I didn’t drink enough Champagne.” John Maynard Keynes.“ Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector.” Graham Greene.“ Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right.” Mark Twain.“ Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking it.” Madame De Pompadour.“ I only drink Champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad.” Lily Bollinger.“ Champagne!
