“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear,
and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle
magic there was in them!”
“People are very fond of giving away what they need most
themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.”
“The books that the world calls immoral are books that
show the world its own shame.”
“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.”
“It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us
absolution.”
― Oscar Wilde (Libra), The Picture of Dorian Gray
