Beer, the Bible, and the seven deadly virtues have made our England what she is.
– Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Chapter 17. Lord Henry has a very unflattering view of England. Here he tells us what has made his country what it is. Besides beer and the Bible, it’s the "seven deadly virtues" – one of these is ugliness, according to Henry, but he doesn’t mention what the others are.
