The Picture of Dorian Gray

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates life."

"I love acting. It is so much more real than life."

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

"To define is to limit."

"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book."

"The basis of optimism is sheer terror."

"I can resist everything except temptation."

"All art is quite useless."

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
