“The picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde “Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. “

Oscar Wilde “Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. “

“I can resist anything but temptation” O.Wilde

“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it “The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.” Lord Henry, Chapter 2.

“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions “I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” Dorian, Chapter 9.

“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” Lord Henry, to Basil, Chapter 1.
