That he is also a fine actor is important, because the film requires him to show many conflicting aspects of Wilde's life ... [He] brings a depth and gentleness to the role."Ebert, Roger.

In her chapter Consuming Nigella in Feminism, Domesticity and Popular Culture, Lise Shapiro Sanders observes that Lawson's early books including How to Eat and How to Be a Domestic Goddess (2001) "emphasize cooking and eating as sites of pleasure for women." Sanders explains that the pleasure is both "authentic" and "ironic, self-consciously reworking a mid-twentieth-century ideology of domestic femininity." In particular, baking gives Lawson "access to a fantasy of femininity that, instead of dooming women to lives of 'domestic drudgery', enables the performance of a 'weekend alter ego winning adoring glances and endless approbation from anyone who has the good fortune to eat in her kitchen'". Sanders notes Lawson's disclaimer in her preface that "I have nothing to declare but my greed (page xv)".

The names of Benjamin B. Dailey and his comrades in this magnificent feat should never be forgotten. As long as the Life-Saving Service has the good fortune to number among its keepers and crews such men as these, no fear need ever be entertained for its good name or purposes. David Stick, the author of Graveyard of the Atlantic: Shipwrecks of the North Carolina Coast, noted that: "During the first thirty years of operation of the Lifesaving Service on the North Carolina coast a total of twelve Gold Lifesaving Medals, the highest such award made by our government, were presented for exceptional bravery in saving life." Of this number, seven—more than half—were awarded to the lifesavers from Cape Hatteras and Creed's Hill stations who rescued the crew of the barkentine Ephraim Williams, December 22, 1884.

Rome didn't want our Gothic (and was perhaps the only one in Europe to reject it) and they were right, because when one has the good fortune to possess a national architecture, the best thing is to keep it." "If you study for a moment a church of the 13th century", he wrote, "you see that all of the construction is carried out according to an invariable system. All the forces and the weights are thrust out to the exterior, a disposition which gives the interior the greatest open space possible. The flying buttresses and contreforts alone support the entire structure, and always have an aspect of resistance, of force and stability which reassures the eye and the spirit; The vaults, built with materials that are easy to mount and to place at a great height, are combined in a easy that places the totality of their weight on the piles; that the most simple means are always employed...and that all the parts of these constructions, independent of each other, even as they rely on each other, present an elasticity and a lightness needed in a building of such great dimensions.
