Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired... - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

"You like every one; that is to say, you are indifferent to every one."

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

"Oh, brothers! I don't care for brothers. My elder brother won't die, and my younger brothers seem never to do anything else."

"But we never get back our youth… The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to."

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