The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Original 1890 Edition (A Oscar Wilde Classics)

by Oscar Wilde

for there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

You might see nothing in him. I see everything in him.

I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.

Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing....

I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.

You are more to me than all art can ever be.
