Some quotes from The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde:
**There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
**When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
**There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others would pick them up.
**Nowadays, people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
**Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.
**...that is one of the great secrets of life. Nowadays, most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it's too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
**Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
