It has been over two years since I last read The Picture of Dorian Gray, yet it has not lost any of its luster in the meantime. The story of the young, vain, and impressionable Dorian Gray and his corruption at the hands of Lord Henry is fascinating still.

Here are some of my favourite quotes:
When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
