The Picture of Dorian Gray ( A to Z Classics )

by Oscar Wilde

"Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul."

You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know."

Besides, each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved.

To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
