A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not lov... - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

"The only horrible thing in the world is ennui."

"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book.Books are well written, or badly written. That is all."

"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame."

"But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality."

"I am too fond of reading books to care to write them."
