To begin with, I dined there on Monday, and once a week is quite enough to dine with one's own relations.

Oscar Wilde
About This Quote

The first time I dined there, on Monday, and once a week is quite enough to dine with my relations. The dinner that I had there was the first dinner that I had for many months with any of my own relations. For though I have two brothers at home, they are nothing to me but the Dukes of Burgundy to my father, they are nothing at all to me.
