Thoughtful Tuesdays: Values

Thoughtful Tuesday
by Eithne Cullen In Oscar Wilde’s play Lady Windemere’s Fan, Lord Darlington says that a cynic is ‘A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.’ Like many of the things Wilde wrote, this has slipped into common usage as a saying and could equally apply to a ...

Thoughtful Tuesdays: Bringing The Outside In

Thoughtful Tuesday
